How it feels

You blast through procedurally generated caverns as a rodent weaponsmith, constantly unlocking new guns and upgrades in a fast, chaotic top-down shooter.

What players say

Players describe Smithy as a twin-stick shooter with procedural levels and weapon upgrades that quickly becomes repetitive due to only five weapons and no per-run upgrades. Some praise the chiptune soundtrack and retro art style, while others criticize the small variety, short content, and poor controller support.
