How it feels

A chaotic, fast-paced side-scrolling shooter with cartoony visuals and randomly generated levels that feels like a frantic arcade romp.

What players say

Players enjoy the simple side-view roguelike combat and weapon variety, but they find the reload timing and key grinding from bosses frustrating. The graphics look cheap but the gameplay is praised as fun and challenging.
