How it feels

A frantic, arcade-inspired twin-stick shooter with roguelike elements, where players hunt giant cosmic creatures in a chaotic, permadeath-driven arena.

What players say

Players love the concept of hunting eldritch space fish, but many say the developer abandoned the game unfinished. Combat is let down by slippery movement, inaccurate hitboxes, and severe balance problems, while performance issues and crashes are common. A few players find the visceral monster-ripping satisfying enough to overlook the jank, but the majority advise against buying.
