How to play:
The game plays with only a mouse!
Launching any level in easy mode will run the tutorial!
The controls:
- Hold left click to move the spider towards your cursor
- Pass your cursor over enemies to target them
- Right-click to shoot rockets at targetted enemies
- If you have Fangs, you can also bump into enemies to deal damage
Your ammo is limited to the amount shown on your ammo bar on the left border of the screen. After shooting, a blinking cooldown bar will appear. Once your systems are properly cooled down, you will regenerate missiles to fill up your ammo capacity.
All these things go at different speeds depending on your stats, shown on the right border of the screen. During the levels, random power-ups will appear. Shoot at them to change what stat they're for. Get close to them to pick them up.
The editor:
You can access the level editor from the game's main menu. To use it, you'll have to drop mp3 files into the "tracks" folder in the game's files.
The editor controls with the mouse as well. Set the track's BPM in the upper-right corner, place enemies on the timeline, move the cursor by clicking above the timeline, move the timeline by holding and dragging the textured bar below the timeline.
You can also play and stop the music by pressing Space and you can launch and stop a test with Enter.
Detailed instructions are in the readme.txt in the tracks folder.
When you buy the game, you also get to download a compilation of tracks from other punkcake games and from previous games by Benjamin, to use with Ecstatic's editor to make your own levels!

Pleaaasssee make deeemmoooss!!!!!!!!! 😭😩 pleeeaaaseeee pleaaasseee
exactly! I don't want to have to pay 6 bucks for a crummy little game like this when there are better games on steam for free. FREE!
any plans to release on steam?
hoping too , Shongun King was blast on deck and this one looks too
This looks wonderful.
anyone can tell me what engine they used to make it?
In a custom closed source engine called SUGAR
Ecstatic is a brilliant tactical top-down shooter that quickly turns into a bullet hell. Unique controls - controlling both movement and targeting with the mouse - is an interesting challenge. The random nature of the upgrade drops force you to adopt different play styles every run, making it infinitely replayable. Great music, awesome pixel art. Bloody tough!
ah yes, very clever, steamunlocked, no one know it
i want to play this game but i am broke plez make free version.
it's literally just 6 dollars
it depends on what country are they living, for instance i live in a country where 1 dollar is 17-18 TLs, which you can buy 4-5 bread loaves, hehe, economy...
the economy sucks badly sometimes
it's all about where you're born and who is the president
it has almost nothing to do with the president
Exciting arcade!
cool game
This game is fantastic. Perfect for quick intense sessions.
If replaying the same track at the same difficulty will baddies spawn in the exact same patterns?
The same enemies will appear at the same moments in the song but as far as I know, they'll be positioned differently as spawn locations are pretty much random.
This game looks really cool can't wait to play it
