How it feels

A fast-paced blend of twin-stick shooting and tower defense where leveling up in short bursts fuels chaotic retro combat.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, fun blend of tower defense and survivor-likes where you protect a moving convoy. Most finish in about 3 hours, and many say it's unbalanced: some towers and weapons are much stronger than others, and later waves can overwhelm despite maxed upgrades.
