How it feels

A retro arcade-style VR shooter that feels like controlling a starfighter in a room-scale space, with escalating action as you collect upgrades.

What players say

Players compare it to Valve's Xortex but say it is a front-scrolling shooter rather than a room-scale one. They praise the addictive arcade action and random enemy waves, but many complain the game forces left-handed control and lacks options or progression saves, with some calling it abandoned.
