A fast-paced, retro-inspired action game where you slash and shoot through diverse biomes against tough enemies and bosses.

What players say

Players call this a brutally hard but consistent action game, with one-hit deaths and boss fights that demand memorization. It is short, around 3 hours, and built for achievement hunters and speedruns, though some find the map maker trollish.
