How it feels

A chaotic and fast-paced survivor-like where automatic weapons and explosions fill the screen with pure ASCII text, creating a retro arcade feel.

What players say

Players enjoy the ASCII visuals and responsive controls, and the enchantment system adds build variety. Some note the content is brief and limited, and one player reports the orb sprite can obscure the action.
