A relentless horizontal space shooter where you must constantly manage your squadron's loadout and survival amidst waves of enemies and tough bosses.

What players say

Players praise the roguelike mechanic of picking three ships per run, each with unique firing styles that force you to adapt when one is lost. The challenge is significant but fair, and the persistent upgrades and regular content updates keep it fresh. Some note visibility issues and a steep learning curve for newcomers to the genre.
