What players say

Players praise this as a roguelite take on Space Invaders that is simple but deeply addictive, with permanent upgrades that make repeated runs rewarding. It works well on Steam Deck for short sessions, though some find the early waves too difficult. Fans of the YouTube developer RyiSnow especially appreciate the game.
