How it feels

A frantic local multiplayer arcade shooter where you build and rebuild a ship mid-battle by stealing blocks from opponents.

What players say

Players love this as a couch party game for friends and family, especially after trying it at events like EGX. It is easy to learn but has depth in strategic building. However, long-time players report that development stalled years ago and features like online multiplayer never arrived.
