How it feels

A fast-paced, arcade-like dungeon crawler focused on chasing high scores through short runs.

What players say

Players describe a very short 20-30 minute campaign and an endless roguelike mode. Combat is a sticking point: many call it sluggish or frustrating due to stamina, enemy tracking, and lack of healing. Atmosphere and visual style get praise, but the release is treated as an alpha proof-of-concept more than a full game.
