A frantic, fast-paced bullet-hell survival game where you control a potato wielding up to six weapons at once, surviving waves of enemies with quick runs and customizable characters.

What players say

Players praise the addictive loop and variety of characters and weapons, with many calling it a perfect Steam Deck game. However, updates through late 2023 introduced a Nightmare difficulty that veteran players find unfairly bullet-heavy, with some saying it ruined the core balance. Players also note the co-op is local only and there is no permanent stat progression.
