How it feels

a fast-paced, retro-inspired first-person shooter with surreal dreamscape levels and a score-driven arcade feel.

What players say

Players praise the fast-paced run-and-gun gameplay, driven by a deadly wall that forces constant forward movement. The weapon-swapping reload system and short levels encourage high-score chasing, though some report softlock bugs and jank from Game Maker.
