How it feels

A fast-paced 2D platformer where you dash and shoot through levels as an android warrior.

What players say

Players call it a solid Mega Man X-style platformer with tight controls and varied characters, but opinions split on level design and difficulty. Some praise the exploration and hidden upgrades, while others find levels too long and death traps cheap. The final boss draws complaints for off-screen attacks, and the grindy shop system for upgrades is a recurring point.
