How it feels

A frantic, arcade-style shoot 'em up where you must strategically blast swarms of enemies before they reach your mothership, with permanent damage and procedural runs keeping each attempt tense and fresh.

What players say

Players praise its originality among shoot-em-ups, with the goal of protecting a mothership instead of just surviving. Opinion splits on weapon balance, as some find the starting gun outclasses later upgrades. The game appeals to fans of classic titles like Raptor or Raiden, not bullet hells.
