How it feels

A fast-paced action game where all visuals are rendered as live ASCII text, giving a minimalist and retro feel.

What players say

Players praise the ASCII art concept and music but note the game is short at about an hour. Bosses feel repetitive and easy, while visibility of enemies and projectiles is a common complaint. Some wish for an auto-fire option and more difficulty variety beyond hardcore mode.
