How it feels

A frantic, high-speed shootout with a retro pixel aesthetic where you constantly rely on bullet time to survive waves of monsters and outlaws.

What players say

Players praise the fluid movement and gunplay, especially a bullet-time mechanic that makes combat feel dynamic. The pixel art and soundtrack are highlights, though some find the early item clutter overwhelming or the controls unchangeable on keyboard. A solo dev effort, it runs well on Steam Deck and takes about 7 hours to complete.
