a fast-paced, loop-driven boss rush where each fight is a quick test of managing resources and upgrading between battles.

What players say
Players appreciate the unique visual style and satisfying core loop, but many find the early difficulty punishing due to extremely tanky enemies, no visible damage feedback, and a long unskippable intro. A vocal minority warns the game was abandoned in beta at version 0.7 as the developer moved on to a sequel.
