How it feels

A quick, twitchy arcade game where you rotate a cube to deflect incoming lasers, demanding focused reactions in short bursts.

What players say

Players are split on this minimalist score-chaser. Some enjoy the simple reaction-based loop and the music, but others call it buggy and say the flashy background causes headaches. The consensus is that it is shallow, with one reviewer calling it shovelware.
