Solo indie developer CurlyMango is thrilled to announce that LootMage, a bullet hell roguelite infused with dark fantasy magic, will launch in Early Access on September 11, 2025. Featuring three complete stages at launch, LootMage combines frenetic bullet-hell combat with creative build-making through loot collection and synergistic items.
Players begin their journey with only a wooden staff, delving into procedurally generated dungeons where every run offers new challenges and rewards. By collecting magical artifacts, staves, and spells, players can unlock powerful synergies and customize their combat style with Mana Stones that alter projectile speed, count, reflection, and homing effects.
“LootMage is about the thrill of looting, adapting, and discovering magical builds that feel truly your own,” says MinGyu Lee, developer of CurlyMango. “With Early Access, I want to grow the game together with the community, balancing and expanding based on real player feedback.”
