How it feels

A chaotic, fast-paced retro action game where you blast through pixelated testing grounds using shotgun knockback to escape an evil AI.

What players say

Players say the game is a very short 20-minute experience built around a unique shotgun recoil mechanic, with a bossfight that some find annoying. A few mention a glitch to skip toxic water sections, and there is no Chinese language support or achievements.
