What players say

Players describe a free, short Vampire Survivors-like where you play as a dog with a couple of abilities. Many note the shop in ruins has a glitch that gives unlimited upgrades, and they split on difficulty: normal is not challenging while hard mode feels tedious or unplayable without the easy setting.
