About Dome Keeper

Dome Keeper is a pixel-art indie roguelike mining action game by the German studio bippinbits. Between waves of alien attacks, players race against the clock to drill deep underground for resources and relics while operating the dome's weapons to fend off incoming enemies.

Dome Keeper is a pixel-art roguelike mining action game developed by the German studio bippinbits, a two-person indie team. Players must balance two core loops, mining and defense: during the downtime between monster waves, use a drill and equipment to carve tunnels beneath the dome, explore a procedurally generated underground map, and collect ores and relics to bring back to base; whenever the countdown ends, monsters attack from the air and the ground on multiple fronts, and players must operate the dome's weapons to defend. Resources can be spent to unlock several upgrade paths, including strengthening the dome's defenses, boosting the drill's destructive power, or increasing movement speed. The game offers two guardian types, four domes, and four primary pieces of equipment, and supports custom run modifiers and difficulty settings, letting players explore different builds and strategy combinations across repeated playthroughs. The game first launched on Steam in Early Access in 2022.
