How it feels

A strategic, fast-paced 2D shooter where you choose room cards and face vegetable enemies with random weapons in a cute pixel-art world.

What players say

Players describe a compact roguelike with short runs and an emphasis on combining weapons for broken synergies. The vegetable-themed art is charming, but several note it is very hard early on, especially dodging projectiles and judging the dash length.
