How it feels
A fast-paced top-down arena shooter with a retro PSX aesthetic and ambient jungle soundtrack, focused on building synergistic mech loadouts across relentless dreamlike wave combat.

What players say
Players love the PS1-era mech aesthetic and the drum-and-bass soundtrack. The gameplay is a survivor-like with mechs, often compared to Custom Robo and Brotato. Some players note it is content light, with only five levels and five characters.
