How it feels

A stripped-down, frantic arcade shooter where raw player skill is the only tool against relentless abstract enemies.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple, cheap roguelike with cheerful destruction and a fast restart on death. Some applaud the 100% skill requirement, while others find the single-hit permadeath punishing and the levels too samey.
