How it feels

A frantic, high-speed run through a shifting alien dungeon where your gun mutates in real time, demanding quick reflexes and aggressive play.

What players say

Players see a promising student project with a clever one-gun roguelike concept, but nearly everyone flags the stiff, floaty movement, a painfully loud acid sound effect, and a looping soundtrack that cuts off mid-song. Several also note the lack of an FOV slider.
