How it feels

A fast-paced, chaotic top-down shooter where you constantly upgrade to survive endless waves of pixelated enemies.

What players say

Players call the game fun but punishing, with a difficulty spike right from the start and no meta progression between runs. Several reviewers note the developer has been absent for years and recommend other games in the genre instead. The cute art style and challenging boss fights are praised, but the lack of updates, controller support, and roguelite upgrades holds it back.
