How it feels

a scrappy, fast-paced top-down action game with cyberpunk and ninja stylings, still rough around the edges as a solo dev passion project

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and fast-paced combat built around slow-motion dashes and bullet deflection, but they are split on the indirect control scheme, some find it awkward, others feel it clicks once mastered. Long-time players say development stalled and the game has not been updated in years.
