How it feels

A fast-paced 2D shooter roguelike where random dungeon layouts and escalating enemy difficulty keep each run tense and unpredictable.

What players say

Players say it is a glitchy twin-stick shooter where dashing into walls lets you skip levels, making an already cheap difficulty pointless. Many players report the sprites are stolen, and several call the gameplay repetitive.
