How it feels

a space shooter that demands precise timing for dodging and parrying, rewarding split-second decisions with powerful counterattacks

What players say

Players control a ship that cannot shoot, relying on dodge and parry to reflect enemy attacks. The movement is very slow, and hard mode features intense bullet hell. Some are impressed by the quality for a student project, but it requires a controller.
