How it feels

A frantic and unforgiving arcade platformer where you weave through alien hordes in tight, randomized single-screen levels.

What players say

Players call this a solid arcade roguelite that feels like a tribute to Super Crate Box, but opinions split sharply. It is praised for tight single-screen action with distinct weapons and chaotic coop, yet many warn the PC version has framerate problems tied to its GameMaker engine, and others find the inability to shoot upward limiting.
