How it feels

A chaotic top-down shooter where you control a vengeful text file in a brutal, fast-paced roguelike rampage through a hostile computer system.

What players say

Players compare it to Smash TV and Binding of Isaac, with directional attacks instead of mouse aiming, which some find clunky. It's a short roguelike that can be finished in about 30 minutes, with great music and a virtual computer theme. However, multiple reviews report the game was discontinued and no longer works on current systems, and some mention glitches like white-screen freezes.
