How it feels

A tight, technical shoot-'em-up where absorbing bullets and managing energy creates a tense ebb-and-flow of offense and defense.

What players say

Players praise the novel mechanic of absorbing enemy bullets for health while your own shots drain it, creating constant risk-reward decisions. It is a challenging arcade shmup with no campaign, a branching stage map, and a neon synth soundtrack that splits attention between colorful visuals and small audio balance issues.
