How it feels

A frantic, kinetic free-to-play arena shooter where players zip around with grappling hooks and rechargeable electric guns, rewarding speed and aggression.

What players say

Players praise the grappling hook and neon aesthetic but almost universally report that the game is dead on arrival due to no online matchmaking, forcing it to be a private friends-only experience. Reviews split on whether the basic concept is fun, some call it unplayable due to bugs and poor optimization, while others enjoy the movement and gun recharging.
