How it feels
A chaotic, fast-paced platformer where you blast through randomly generated cave levels with jetpacks and explosions, balancing permadeath with persistent upgrades.

What players say
Players compare it to Caveblazers but note the focus on resource gathering and permanent upgrades rather than pure roguelike difficulty. The game splits players: some find it a relaxing mining loop with a jetpack, others call it too grindy and repetitive with awkward controls. Linux support has been broken for some users.
