How it feels

A challenging, abstract shooter with retro visuals and a mix of slow sniping and frantic dodging inside a spherical arena.

What players say

Players describe it as a 3D roguelike take on Asteroids with a steep learning curve and permadeath. The soundtrack and the "bone sphere" death-recovery system are highlights, though some find the default camera and controls off-putting until adjusted. Streams split on whether the game feels brainy or chaotic.
