A kinetic old-school shooter where you zip around with a jetpack, dodging projectiles and blasting tough enemies with classic weapons.

What players say

Players describe it as a fast-paced Doom-like with stick figures, but many say development was abandoned after a year. Some enjoy the run-and-gun action, while others note the limited movement and weapon sway. Performance varies by hardware.
