How it feels

A frantic, old-school shoot'em up where you dodge and blast through waves of enemies in tight vertical space.

What players say

Players describe it as a solid free-to-play bullet hell shmup with roguelite progression, where you choose one of two upgrades after each boss. Controls divide opinion: some find them tight while others call them horrible, and there are no saves or checkpoints.
