About

Nine deadly weapons with one thing in common– they all fire backward. Mastering each weapon's quirks is the key to combat. Jet around with the flamethrower, master the kick of the shotgun, kill at a distance with the sniper rifle. Whatever you choose, fire with purpose, or die.

They crawl, lunge, and swarm. Grotesque enemies and their sinister overlords. Learn their patterns and perfect your positioning for maximum carnage. Fail and be pulled into madness. They don’t want to kill you... they want to keep you.

Each descent is a fleeting ten-minutes of chaos. The souls you collect... are eternal. Use them to unlock powerful upgrades for your ship, evolving your arsenal and abilities. Die, upgrade, repeat. Come back stronger, or not at all.

A very polished experience which has a ton of depth in how different the weapons are. And weapons doesn't just mean how you attack, as all of them affect the way you move significantly. The pacing and variety of enemy waves is really solid creating a lot of tense and unique moments. The depth of controls give the game a very high skill ceiling for those looking for a punishing challenge, but the deaths never feel cheap or unfair. And there's cool bosses and events for those who want to play on an easier setting. Also the rogue-lite style upgrades let you can upgrade after every death. All in all a I think it's excellent in it's game design, with a well executed aesthetic to boot.
This game is dangerously addictive, I've lost hours playing just the demo alone and I can see myself loosing quite a bit more with the full game. Lots of fun and challenging, but not terribly punishing. I'd recommend it for a quick arcade type game that has an interesting spin on a core arcade space shooter mechanic.
非常好小时候玩过经验到了那会在ipa上玩通过了现在出pc版了也是第一时间就买了体验了一会质量超过了ipa版 100/100good我推荐你们式一下现在买打折-25%-9¥16号结束!
This game is awesome! It has a great selection of weapons that feel really different to use, and the bosses and enemies are all unique and surprising. Together with the awesome artstyle and satisfying gameplay, it's a very replayable and super fun arcade game and I highly recommend giving it try!
Fun little shooter. Graphics are simple but good - got that retro CRT vibe while also clearly communicating the different enemies, weapons, etc. I liked the little details when the enemies were defeated. I enjoyed playing over and over again and trying to do better! I played on controller and it worked really well. Had a lot of fun playing! If you're looking for something short and sweet, but with a lot of replayability with the endless mode give this a look!
A really fun take on the arcade shooter genre. The upgrades are pivotal to the gameplay and everyone will probably find their preference. It's not just about unlocking them, but learning their mechanics and mastering how they work.
Trés bon jeu pour passé le temps tout en ayant le challenge de tryhard et avancer le plus possible ! ca serai genial d'avoir un version francaise surtout pour les joueurs comme moi qui comprend pas grand choses (apres cest pas dur de verifier sur google traduction si on a un doute sur ce que fait les armes disponibles) et pourquoi pas voir pour inclus le faite de pouvoir inclure plus tard un mode coopération pour le rendre encore plus addictif. Merci encore a Miaccaz sur twitch qui a fait une demo de ce jeu et qui a fait gagner celui ci
