How it feels

A frantic, retro-styled bullet hell where you dodge waves of projectiles while blasting through enemies in a top-down arcade frenzy.

What players say

Players call it a solid retro arcade shooter with a character perk system that encourages replays, but the lack of saving and a sharp difficulty spike turn deaths into full restarts. Some note performance stutters and a weak basic weapon that drags boss fights.
