How it feels

A frantic top-down twin-stick bullet hell where you dash through waves of enemies, upgrading guns on the fly to chase high scores.

What players say

Players praise the chaotic gun-customization that lets them build wild weapons, and find rolling through waves of bugs satisfying. The early-access run lasts about 30-40 minutes and runs well on Steam Deck, though some report performance stutters and frustration with recent balance changes that nerf player power.
