Impaler is a 90s-inspired minimalist arena shooter gives you the magical powers to summon spikes that slay monsters, raise barriers, and get you to higher ground.

Impaler is challenging, rewards movement, and each run feels different thanks to rogue-like elements, varied skills to unlock, and increasingly difficult hordes of enemies ensure that every short run through its 10 levels is fun and challenging.  Overcome the increasingly difficult hordes of monsters by upgrading your weapons & abilities.
