How it feels

a chaotic, gory 2D shooter where you slide and blast through crime-ridden districts with a motley crew of assassins, all while a time-traveling rabbit politician sells you a surprisingly earnest campaign platform through absurdist, fast-paced action.

What players say

Players love the frantic side-scrolling action and dark humor, often comparing it to Hotline Miami. The game shines with its unique characters and their distinct playstyles, though some find the comedy mostly confined to cutscenes. Players split on the controls, with some finding them floaty.
