How it feels

A fast-paced arcade bullet hell where you and up to three friends dodge dense patterns and upgrade weapons while hunting a procedurally generated list of targets.

What players say

Players praise this as a short, simple twin-stick shooter that offers good value at low price. The gameplay is easy but satisfying, with stacking weapon upgrades and a minimalist soundtrack that many call great. Some find it too brief and easy, while others note that fully powered-up fights make bosses anticlimactic.
