How it feels

A chaotic, gory, and fast-paced platformer/shooter where you tear through a post-apocalyptic wasteland with reckless abandon.

What players say

Players praise the 360-degree aiming and fluid movement options like dash and slide, calling it challenging but rewarding. The gross-out humor with bodily functions is a standout, along with a fitting metal soundtrack. Some note bugs and glitches, and a few prefer the older free version.
