How it feels

A chaotic and humorous bullet-hell adventure with a darkly comedic tone, switching between top-down and over-the-shoulder perspectives for fast-paced combat.

What players say

Players praise the unique mechanic of switching between top-down and third-person views during combat, comparing it to Time Crisis. The story and art style are well received, but many note frustrating level design, ammo scarcity, and poor controller support. A few early access bugs are reported.
