A minimalist, arcade-style roguelike where you gracefully dodge enemies with a jet while building item synergies in short, repeatable runs.

What players say
Players praise how easy it is to start a run and lose time to it, but split on difficulty and polish. Some call the stat shuffles unfair when options cancel out, and note a lack of fullscreen or settings.
