How it feels

A frantic, ever-accelerating dash through a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where each run is a tense scramble for resources and upgrades against a rising tide of mutated beasts.

What players say

Players call it a silly but addictive retro runner with a bright Y2K aesthetic. The game is very basic and easy, though one player reported their PC blue-screened, wondering if the crash was intentional.
