How it feels

A fast-paced, arcade-style action platformer where you fight through endless waves of enemies, leveling up and unlocking heroes with each run.

What players say

Players praise the addictive weapon gacha and slot machine minigames but note the 50-wave structure feels padded with reused content. The game is grindy and lacks mid-run saves, and some find late-game basic attacks useless. Keyboard control issues and slow animations draw complaints, though the low price and developer passion win overall support.
