How it feels

a fast-paced pixel-art bullet hell where you survive endless waves of monsters in dreamlike settings.

What players say

Players call it a capable Brotato-like with a large roster and a speed toggle, but sentiment is split: some enjoy the casual grind while others feel development stalled, leaving a shallow difficulty curve, no infinite mode, and imbalanced weapons.
