10 Minutes Till Dawn — Play Free Online

Boss Fights

10 Minutes Till Dawn is a ten-minute survivor shooter: kill waves of monsters, pick upgrades on every level-up and stay alive until the clock runs out.

About 10 Minutes Till Dawn

10 Minutes Till Dawn gives you exactly ten minutes. Monsters pour in from every side, you shoot them, and each level-up offers three upgrades that change how your gun or your character works. The pressure rises every minute, the final stretch is a wall of enemies, and surviving the full ten is the whole goal.

It is the bullet-heaven cousin of a bullet-hell fight: instead of dodging one boss, you dodge a crowd while building something strong enough to hold it back.

How to Play 10 Minutes Till Dawn

Press Play and pick a character and a weapon.
Move with WASD, aim with the mouse and shoot; reloading takes a moment, so time it.

Survive until the timer reaches zero.

Controls

WASD: move. Mouse: aim. Left click or hold: shoot.
R: reload.
Space: dash on some characters.

Tips and Tricks

Keep moving in a wide circle. Standing still is death after minute four.
Upgrades that pierce or bounce are worth more than raw damage once the crowd is thick.
Reload when the screen is empty, never in the middle of a swarm.
The boss in the last two minutes is the run. Save a dash for it.
