How it feels

A chaotic cooperative twin-stick shooter where you blast goblins and bats as a dragon in short arcade bursts.

What players say

Players say the game is a free fantasy top-down shooter that requires a controller, as keyboard-and-mouse controls are broken or unusable. Co-op works with controllers but the experience feels clunky and incomplete, with some reporting bugs like spells not working. The game is short, around 10 minutes, and struggles with performance issues.
