How it feels

A fast-paced retro shooter that demands precise twin-stick control and careful resource management as you navigate gravity in vibrant pixel art space environments.

What players say

Players call it a faithful homage to classic gravity-based shooters like Thrust and Solar Jetman, with a satisfying twin-stick control scheme. Some find the music repetitive and the 30 fps lock dated, and opinion splits on whether the gameplay holds up or becomes tedious.
