"I preserve thy life, O accursed one, though thou hast an unjust fate." 

Man Age is a top-down roguelike shooter where you are cursed to age rapidly. 

Steadfast hero Mort has found themselves trapped in an ancient crypt with a haunting aura of death. Within, a strange being that names itself "Life" grants unto Mort her guidance. She offers Mort helpful boons and asks him to defeat the foul Necromancer that inhabits the crypt. But how long can she provide aid? And what happens when that aid runs out?

In Man Age, you are constantly on a timer ticking down your age. Attacking and dashing exerts yourself and makes you age faster, but defeating enemies gives you more time. While aging initially has benefits, these won't last forever. You must manage your time carefully in order to get to later waves.
