A fast, arcade-style scramble downward, balancing ammo conservation with constant blasting and dodging.

What players say
Players compare it favorably to Downwell but find the content thin, with most runs feeling the same after 15 minutes. The game lacks key rebinding and d-pad support, and opinions split on whether the mandatory sidegrades help or hurt the flow. Long-time fans of the original Caverns of Mars say it plays very differently.
