How it feels

A chaotic, minimalist shooting gallery where bugs swarm your pumpkins and janky mechanics are framed as features.

What players say

Players describe it as a solid top-down shooter with a vampire-survivors-like feel. The gradual upgrade system makes each run a bit longer. Some call the early game tedious and note the wasp enemy and shotgun are unbalanced. Achievements demand a serious time and skill commitment.
