How it feels

A frantic, absurdly high-energy top-down shooter where you chug soda for power-ups and blast aliens with pixelated chaos.

What players say

Players are sharply split: many condemn the late disclosure of AI use for voice acting and concept art, with some also reporting controller problems and a dangerous GPU spike at the start screen. Fans praise the pixel art, the combat combos, and the soda-themed aesthetic, but note that runs are short, easy, and get repetitive after a few planets.
