How it feels
A fast-paced arcade shooter where you dodge relentless bullet patterns and upgrade your ship between runs to take on a tough boss.

What players say
Players compare it to Galaga with a rogue-like loop, praising the addictive 'one more run' feel. Many criticize the upgrade grid as a boring stat grind with no real build options, and enemies are bullet sponges. The game is hard in both story and arcade mode.
