You frantically spin your sword in circles, managing momentum and dizziness to survive waves of enemies in a simple, pixel-art horde fight.

What players say

Players praise the novel sword-swinging mechanic where you rotate the weapon left or right, building speed until dizziness forces a direction change. The game is easy to pick up but challenging to master, with most reviewers recommending a controller. Some find it a tough, quirky take on the Survivor-like genre, while a few say it lacks lasting content.
