The whole block wants you gone.

Rottweiler stampedes. An electric ankle monitor. A stop sign that turns into a traffic light. No Safe Block is a Vampire Survivors-inspired street survival roguelite: build something ridiculous, survive 15 minutes and face the kingpin.

Free · Single-player · Desktop keyboard and mouse
Windows download: v0.59 · Browser play: v0.42

Download Windows v0.59 · Play browser v0.42

New on Windows: Personal Business

  • Rivals remember you. Unfinished business follows Redline Ray, Collections Carl and Bad Credit Lou into later runs.
  • Characters have clearer feedback. Rook's focus lock, Velvet's decoy and Uncle Smoke's bass pulse each have more distinct cues.
  • The streets push back. A clearer opening leads into tougher standard-run pressure, stronger impacts and a detailed run review.

Read the full v0.59 update. Start a fresh Windows run for the new balance. The browser version remains v0.42.

Real gameplay from browser v0.42, which is still playable on the game page.

Play one run. Tell me what ended it.

  1. Would you start another run? What pulled you back or made you stop?
  2. Could you read the danger? Tell me if a hit or boss warning felt unfair.
  3. Trying Windows v0.59? Did the opening teach enough, and did you want a rival rematch?
A useful quick reply: version · character · weapons · survival time · would you play again?

New to the genre? Your first impression helps too. Honest complaints are welcome.

Controls: WASD move · Mouse aim · Left click fire · F auto fire · Space dodge · Esc pause.

In development. Crude cartoon humour, strong language, sexual jokes, drug references, stylised violence and censored nudity.

I'd suggest you make the game runnable in the browser. Downloading an exe file is a hassle + risk. I'd be happy to test then

That was a fair point, and it gave me the push to sort it out. The browser version is live now: https://denpuzzle.itch.io/no-safe-block.

Just click Run game on the page. No EXE or installation. It needs a desktop browser, keyboard and mouse.

I have also updated the alpha to v0.28, with the latest bosses and a Practice menu if you want to jump straight into a fight. I would love to hear whether it makes you want another run. Thanks for suggesting the browser build!

That's great. The game is polished and easy to read. The progression is perfect. Not too slow or boring, nor too fast that I don't understand what's happening. I like how some, for example, show me their charge path or incoming shots. But I think I'll end my review here. It seems I'm not into this genre so I hope other people can give you better feedback

so addictive , spent last couple hours trying different upgrade paths!!

v0.42 is live in the browser: https://denpuzzle.itch.io/no-safe-block

This update focuses on the feel of a run. The original song now has thirteen musical layers that respond to crowded fights, upgrade choices and boss phases. Stashes pay more cash, show the dollars climbing while upgrades emerge, and have sharper visual and sound feedback. Kev chains more rushes and Rick has more health and heavier attacks. There is now one main survival mode with a clean player menu; the older Practice options mentioned above are no longer in the public build.

I'd especially like to hear: does the first stash feel worth chasing, does the music build with the pressure, and can you still read Kev's attacks? If you reach Rick, did he make you work for the win?

And thanks, nurik7s — glad the upgrade paths kept you playing. Which build ended up your favourite?

A tense one-more-run puzzle sounds fun. Right now it's tough for puzzle fans to find, and the replay feedback you're after only comes once enough players actually try it.
