How it feels
A frantic, escalating top-down shooter where power-ups progressively obscure the screen, making the action increasingly hard to parse.

What players say
Players describe a punishing asteroids-like roguelite where you cannot turn your ship, which initially caused confusion and headaches. A new easy mode with ship rotation divided opinion: some say it makes the game 20% easier, while others still find it too hard after three hours.
