How it feels

a fast-paced space shooter where you pilot a ship and fight aliens on foot, with procedural runs and permadeath.

What players say

Players praise the concept of shooting enemy ship turrets then boarding to fight crew, but find execution repetitive and the game very short. Many note it feels like a student project or proof of concept with limited content. Reviews split on enjoyment, with some calling it a decent free time-waster while others cite buggy achievements, random difficulty spikes, and frustrating gamepad controls.
