How it feels

A frantic top-down bullet-hell shooter with retro pixel graphics, where you and up to three friends dodge swarms of enemy fire and giant insects in a post-apocalyptic fight for humanity.

What players say

Players praise the noir aesthetic and branching paths, but many note that enemies blend into the dark background and the ship moves very slowly, which can feel unfair. Reviews split on difficulty: some call it forgiving with frequent bomb drops, while others find certain boss patterns undodgeable.
