How it feels

A satisfying and cleverly strategic tactical game where manual aiming rewards precision and creativity with a lighthearted, adventurous feel.

What players say

Players praise the clever 2D turn-based shooting where ricochet angles matter more than deep tactics. It is easy to pick up and the characters and music are highlights, but some find missions repetitive and combat shallow, especially on higher difficulties.
