New Years Survivor

A first-person survivor-like where every weapon is a firework.

  • Single-player
  • Windows PC
  • Unreal Engine 5

The game

Hold back wave after wave of hostile party spirits – confetti revelers, champagne brutes and balloon knights – armed with nothing but fireworks. Pick your upgrades in the middle of the fight without the action ever pausing. Between runs, spend your gunpowder at a forest camp run by Rocket Rob, a retired demolitions expert who treats every firework like ordnance.

Every weapon is a firework

Roman candles, rockets, sparklers, firecrackers and Catherine wheels.

Upgrades in the world

No pause menus: upgrades appear right in the arena while time slows down.

Graded waves

Every wave is graded from D to S – the better you play, the more rewards you get.

Camp between runs

Unlock weapons, buy permanent upgrades and pick a buff for your next run.
