## What it is
SNKRX is a replayable arcade shooter roguelite where the player steers a snake of heroes that automatically attack nearby enemies. It is built with the LÖVE (Love2D) engine in Lua and is also available on Steam.

## Use cases
- play an arcade roguelite shooter with snake-style movement
- combine heroes to unlock class bonuses and create unique builds
- fight endless waves of enemies in short replayable runs
- study an open-source Love2D game's codebase
- fork or mod a 2D arcade shooter written in Lua

## When to choose
- you want a free, open-source arcade roguelite to play on desktop
- you want to learn how a complete Love2D game is structured
- you want a moddable 2D shooter codebase in Lua

## When to avoid
- you need a game engine or framework rather than a finished game
- you need a game that runs without Steam, since launching requires Steam to be running
- you need 3D graphics or multiplayer networking

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: game, graphics, simulation
- domain: gaming-tools, entertainment
- platform: windows, cross-platform, lua
- tags: arcade-shooter, roguelite, love2d, indie-game, 2d, snake, steam, game-development, desktop
