How it feels

A frantic, pixelated top-down shooter where chaotic battles and quirky item drops keep the action tense and playful.

What players say

Players praise the fast-paced roguelike action and charm, but note rooms can feel empty despite new additions. Success depends heavily on luck, the last stage has a floor pattern that hurts some players' eyes, and enemy attacks like falling rocks lack indicators. Development was paused and later resumed.
