How it feels

A tense, desperate last stand where you deflect incoming artillery shells with your own, hoping to buy time for survivors to escape.

What players say

Players praise the creative mechanics but find the game punishing: movement is slow, ammo is scarce, and later levels demand precision that the small viewport makes frustrating. Some also report UI issues on newer systems.
