How it feels

A frantic arena brawler where you slash at opponents with a giant laser sword while chiptune music drives the action.

What players say

Players describe a simple arcade game where you deflect projectiles in arena combat, comparing it to Asteroids. The controls take some getting used to, and while single player is okay, the game shines in local co-op. There is no online multiplayer, which many note as a missed opportunity. The game is free and has easy achievements.
