How it feels
A fast-paced and challenging twin-stick shooter where you navigate procedurally generated space sections, carefully managing health resources and making strategic choices with permadeath on the line.

What players say
Players praise the build variety and say the game scratches a space shooter itch, but consistently note it is very short with only three levels. The biggest friction is that controller support is missing, making the game unplayable on Steam Deck despite running well. Players are split on difficulty: some find it too hard early on, others say it pays off once you find the right upgrades.
