How it feels

A short, low-stakes incremental game where you steadily power up a single cannon to wipe out waves of enemies.

What players say

Players note that despite being labeled a short incremental game, the skill tree unlocks fast and each run delivers satisfying dopamine spikes. Some find it tiring to play, but the price is widely praised for the value. The demo save transfer is a nice bonus.
