How it feels

A fast-paced, punishing arcade shooter where you lead a squad into chaotic sci-fi battles with a retro pixel aesthetic and high-stakes permadeath.

What players say

Players praise the risk-reward system where damaging the ship costs money and can trigger self-destruct. Each of the six characters has a unique playstyle, and mastering them is key. Some wish for a crouch button, and a few note the game is short with repeating ship layouts.
