How it feels

A short, intense arcade survival game where you dodge obstacles and enemies in a small square grid while the music and visuals shift with each stage.

What players say

Players describe a minimalist bullet hell where you dodge in a 4x4 grid with wall-warping and diagonal movement. Difficulty is consistently high and patterns are largely random, so memorization alone won't carry you. A practice mode helps, but some report keyboard input bugs and controls that feel stiff.
