How it feels

A hyperkinetic first-person ballet of vertical combat against a record-breaking swarm, combining deterministic controls with a relentless highscore chase.

What players say

Players call it a simple time waster for chasing high scores. It runs well on low-end hardware, but enemies are repetitive and there is no story or difficulty options. Performance can drop when many enemies are on screen.
