A fast, chaotic platformer where you blast and bash alien plants with simple, arcade-like controls in short, colorful stages.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art, chill music, and surreal humor, calling the short 1.5-hour campaign a fun pick-up-and-play experience. They note the controls are forgiving despite busy screens and that the game runs well on Steam Deck, but split on the story, some call it incomprehensible while others enjoy the weirdness.
