How it feels

A frantic, old-school arcade shooter where you defend a flower from waves of insects, combining quick reflexes with base-building and weapon upgrades.

What players say

Players like Vermitron's ZX Spectrum aesthetic and the mix of twin-stick shooting with tower defense, but many find it too short, around four hours, and repetitive. The goal of collecting water cans for a flower is simple, though some struggle with confusing early mechanics and a lack of explanations.
