How it feels

A hectic, punishing boss-rush that rewards perseverance with a cathartic sense of relief.

What players say

Players describe it as a short boss-rush game with trial-and-error difficulty, noting the lack of invincibility frames on one boss and warning that achievements are brutally hard. The name makes it hard to search for, and some call it a bit janky but still satisfying for an evening.
