How it feels

A frantic but accessible arcade shooter with procedurally generated chaos.

What players say

Players praise the blend of classic top-down shooting with base building and farming, calling it a unique mix that works. The game is compared to 1990s arcade shooters like Alien Swarm, and reviewers note it runs well even in early access. Some wish for multiplayer, and the custom level editor is a highlight.
