“A lesser-known but very solid twin-stick shooter, combining the space shmup gameplay of Nova Drift with elements of room-clearing roguelites such as Tiny Rogues and Voidigo. Its upgrade system is slightly underwhelming,…”

“I'm not sure how the Steam algorithms work and display one game rather than another but this game never appeared on my list at all. It was just a fluke review on youtube that led me to it but I am glad it did. This game is a real gem. Great to play, controls feel spot on,…”
— a player, Steam review · 24 hrs played“Chucking stuff (or even enemies) into other enemies is the most satisfying system ever and immediately turns this game into a 10/10 (improved by everything else, there's a load of content here!)”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“Great controls and variety. Good replayability and interesting progression. Most importantly, super active devs that actually listen and make changes after having feedback discussions. Worth the full price”
