How it feels

A frantic, absurdly over-the-top twin-stick shooter where you manage resources and build planet-sized weapons to hold off escalating alien waves.

What players say

Players describe the game as unintuitive at first, especially the controls, with a twin-stick shooter that works better on keyboard and mouse than controller. Once past that, it is a polished, fun free game with varied weapons and abilities to experiment with.
