After the Sodacalypse leaves most drinks flat, you play as Sodaman, a supersoldier searching for untouched sodas while battling alien hordes across other worlds.
In each run, explore a map, defeat enemies to gain experience, collect upgrades, and complete stage objectives before facing a boss. Soda powers, weapons, and power-up cards shape how you fight.
Combine upgrades to form different builds, then use between-run currency to improve weapons and skills and unlock cybernetic augments. You can also return to your spaceship to meet characters and explore the setting.
Players who enjoy Sodaman often praise its hectic bullet-heaven combat, experimenting with soda-and-weapon builds, and upgrades that carry progression between runs. The pixel art and irreverent soda-powered premise also appeal to some. Other reviews describe the runs as repetitive or unbalanced and report crashes, performance problems, unclear text, and dissatisfaction with the voice acting.
''Sodaman is infuriated, ever since Entity-X caused the Sodacalypse, making almost all of the sodas in the existence go flat, becoming bland and tasteless with the press of a button. Yet there are still some out there, untouched by this catastrophe and it is up to Sodaman himself to find them."
"I'm here to drink soda and kick aliens... but I'm all outta soda."
Choose from a variety of soda powers across 7 different colors, mix, shake, add a little dash of fury and create the freshest builds found in this side of the universe.
Choose the weapon most suited to your playstyle and discover the most powerful synergies.
With six different body parts and over 30 cybernetic augments available for implementation, you'll have endless options for character customization.
Choose from dozens of power-up cards and build your deck. Take your soda power to the next level!
Relax between runs in your spaceship, meet new characters and explore more of the Sodaman universe.

| AI disclosure | As a small indie team of 3 developers, we utilized AI technologies as a supplementary tool in highly specific areas to optimize our development pipeline and deliver a more immersive experience:Voice Acting: The character voice-overs in the game were generated using AI-assisted voice models.Concept Art: For the portrait designs appearing after the 2nd planet, AI was used strictly during the initial concept and ideation phase. All final assets were carefully refined and finalized by us to ensure strict visual consistency and match our artistic vision.Beyond these specific use cases, all programming, core game design, narrative, and primary in-game assets were handcrafted by our team. The game does not feature any live-generated AI content, and player safety/experience is fully controlled. |
