How it feels

A chaotic and colorful party brawler where simple twin-stick shooting meets frantic local multiplayer mayhem.

What players say

Players praise the single-bullet combat and tight controls, calling it a polished party game in the vein of TowerFall. Many note the fun, fast local multiplayer but wish for more modes and maps, and some find the teleport ability clearly better than others. The game lacks online play and achievements, a developer announcement said the game would go free-to-play, with a DLC for prior buyers.
