How it feels

A fast-paced 2D pixel platform shooter with arcade-style action and a retro sci-fi aesthetic.

What players say

Players praise the uncensored pixel and anime art, but many say the lack of controller support makes the game near unplayable. The run-and-gun gameplay is solid but can feel repetitive, and the chip-based upgrade system adds some depth. Bosses are fair, and losing triggers lewd scenes that double as a revive mechanic.
