How it feels

A fast-paced, upgrade-driven action game with difficult boss fights and repetitive planet exploration.

What players say

Players say this free student project is fun at its core but feels incomplete and very short. Combat and dodging feel good, though balance is off with a broken lifesteal augment, and there are bugs like collision issues and missing stages.
