How it feels

You face relentless waves using only a shield, deflecting bullets and unlocking abilities in a fast, retro-styled arcade roguelike.

What players say

Players love the satisfying deflect mechanic but find the game too easy and short, finishing in about 30 minutes. Opinions split on value: some call the price fair, while others say there is not enough content or replayability for the cost. Common complaints include enemies going off-screen and no boss or meta-progression.
