How it feels

A fast-paced twin-stick shooter where you die often, return as a clone, and steadily grow stronger while unleashing fury with a grappling hook against dark sci-fi backdrops.

What players say

Players are split on the grappling hook: some love it, others say it's unreliable and grabs the wrong thing. Most praise the striking red-and-black art style and the soundtrack. The silent story is called surprisingly effective by some. Late-game runs become a slog because enemies are damage sponges and rooms swarm. A few players report the game won't launch or gets stuck.
