How it feels
A relaxed top-down shooter where you freely fly through a borderless map, gathering resources and endlessly upgrading your mecha's weapons and frame.

What players say
Players call it a satisfying arcade shooter that is fun for a few hours but gets repetitive quickly after unlocking powerful upgrades. Many report optimization problems, especially on Steam Deck where performance is poor, though the low price makes it feel worth the short playtime.
