How it feels

A nostalgic, briskly paced arcade shooter with low-poly visuals and a straightforward run-and-gun feel.

What players say

Players call it a 3D Mega Man or Contra-style run and gun with simple controls and no powerups. The game starts easy but gets challenging, especially the final boss. Some find the lack of upgrades or repetition a drawback, but most enjoy the cheap price and short, replayable levels.
