How it feels

A split-second reaction test where you race through neon obstacles at ever-increasing speed, carried by electronic beats.

What players say

Players describe a brutally fast dodge-and-shoot game that tests reflexes and patience. The instant restart after death keeps them trying, but the difficulty curve is steep and the visual speed can cause eye strain. Each of the seven levels adds a new rule, and reaching 100% requires a grueling 60-second survival run.
