How it feels

A frantic arcade-defense roguelike where every 10 seconds you weigh meaningful upgrades to survive escalating nuclear bombardment.

What players say

Players compare it to a modernized Missile Command with satisfying explosion chaining. Runs are short but escalate quickly, and while opinion splits on whether the explosion physics can be frustrating or fun, everyone agrees wiping the screen feels good.
