DEV NOTE: for best performance, I highly recommend the downloadable builds for Windows and Linux.

The browser version will suffer from a little lag when initially loading due to shader and particle compilation, this should resolve itself before gameplay begins! 

Battery Acid Boy is back for an all-new adventure with more bugs, bullets and lasers than ever before!

Play as the titular Battery Acid Boy and compete for a highscore against endless waves of evil little critters, reflecting projectiles with the power of turbo-dash and zapping anything still moving with your laser.



HOW TO PLAY

Battery Acid Boy can be played with keyboard and mouse, or with a controller of your choice. Controls are fully remappable via ingame menus.

An interactive tutorial is provided ingame.



DELUXE EDITION

The web, Windows and Linux versions of the game are all full, 100% free and feature complete.

Thank you :)

Oh man this game is incredible! It reminds me of one of my favorite games, devil daggers in the best of ways while still completely differentiating itself. I can see myself coming back to this over, and over for the challenging runs, polished game play, and of course incredible music.


Awesome work!

Thank you so much! Devil Daggers was a huge inspiration with this one with the centipedes a direct homage :)

Man this game goes from "I got this" to "I Don't got this" in seconds. Fantastic project, I love it. ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’€

Thank you! I've had more than a few moments like that whilst playtesting lol :)

I got to second place on the leaderboard and I was gaming out of my mind, I don't think I'll get much higher ha

Made the top score, my life is complete :D

Fantastic score, going to be hard for me to claim the top spot back after that!

Over on Bluesky I promised to badly draw a Wasp Ray congratulating the first person to beat my score, so this is for you :)

Ha! That's so cool! It was very difficult; I don't know if I'll be able to get close to that score again. I gotta admit having all those leading zeroes in the score field is mighty ambitious :P
