How it feels
A fast-paced side-scrolling shooter where you repeatedly die and retry through procedurally generated star maps, building up persistent upgrades.

What players say
Players describe it as an addictive roguelite that blends retro side-scrolling shooter action with Slay the Spire-style map navigation. The difficulty is more about attrition than punishing one-shot deaths, and there is a good variety of weapons and permanent upgrades to unlock across runs.
