How it feels

You are tiny, armed to the teeth, and fighting a nonstop swarm of giant bugs in a frantic, explosive power trip that feels both desperate and absurdly satisfying.

What players say

Players compare it to Earth Defense Force, praising the absurd fun of swatting cockroach swarms as a tiny action figure. They split on the controls and camera, but most agree the gacha weapon system and rough translation need work, while the cheap price and perspective-switching gameplay make it a worthwhile early-access title.
