Dome Keeper is a roguelike arcade-action game developed by Bippinbits, released in 2022 for PC, Mac, Linux, Xbox Series X|S, and web browsers. Players alternate between two core activities: operating dome-mounted weapons to repel waves of alien attackers, and drilling tunnels into procedurally generated underground maps to gather resources and uncover relics. The tension lies in managing the window between enemy assaults — dig too deep and risk being caught underground when the next wave arrives. Resources fund upgrades that strengthen dome defenses, improve drilling efficiency, or boost movement speed. Each run offers a customizable setup drawn from two keeper types, four domes, four primary gadgets, and dozens of secondary items, along with adjustable difficulty modifiers. Enemies approach from both air and ground, each with distinct movement and attack patterns. A multiplayer component supports up to four-player cooperative defense or competitive modes where players race to survive longest or accumulate the most resources.
