How it feels

You juggle combos like a timer in a pixelated bullet hell, scrambling for every second as you blast through procedurally generated waves with escalating fury.

What players say

Players describe it as a brief arcade-style bullet hell confined to a single arena, built for high-score chasing rather than progression. Opinions are split on balance: some say the laser is overpowered, others call it unforgiving with only 2 health. Many note it is very short, with an achievement for beating it in under three minutes.
