How it feels

You control two cute robot buddies in a frantic arcade-style desktop defense, swapping between them as you charge through virus enemies and upgrade their skills.

What players say

Players love the adorable art, catchy music and addictive roguelite loop, often sinking hours into 'one more run'. Opinions split on polish: some praise the crisp combat and distinct bean playstyles, while others cite janky controls, poor tutorial pacing, a grindy upgrade system and the lack of gamepad support.
