About
THIS IS A SHOOT 'EM UP, NOT A DODGE 'EM UP
This game is about shooting swarms of enemies before they can reach your mothership. This is not a bullet hell where you need to dodge hails of bullets and patterns. Don't get complacent though, enemies will return fire. A well placed shot could ruin your timing and let that pesky missile drone through.
ROGUELIKEY RUNS
Damage to the mothership is permanent, and if it's destroyed, you start from the beginning. Going for repairs will pass up extra cash or shiny new equipment. Procedurally generated runs deliver a constantly fresh experience, from level selection and bonuses to the enemy combinations within, they will rarely be the same.

ULTIMATE CONTROL, TACTICAL FREEDOM
Take control of an entire arsenal of weapons and gadgets. You will be like a flying swiss army knife, picking the right tool for the job at the right time. There are always multiple solutions available for any situation. It will be up to you how you spend your limited resources in each level.
OVERKILL
Pump excess lead into your enemies and see them explode into chunks of deadly shrapnel that can take out even more enemies. Get style points for chaining kills.
TAKE A WINGMAN
Two-player co-op locally with controllers and keyboard. You can even play on the same keyboard (n-key rollover recommended)!
A SCI-FI CALAMITY
The Artificial Scientific Discovery Intelligence has gone rogue. In control of a massive facility with full fabrication capabilities, it constructed itself rockets and lifted off into space. It is now raiding nearby human settlements with swarms of drones for resources, presumably to further science at an unprecedented rate. End the menace before the entirety of human civilization is in ruins!

It was fun for a while. It really was but it cant see myself playing it for much longer because of a few things. Choosing a different difficulty makes things more stressed then fun. I went one higher then normal and those tanky ships spammed and I had no option but to shoot them as the bugs passed through. And second the upgrades like between the rail gun and the shotgun are cool but they are just not as good as the beginner gun. The beginner gun covers everything and the other ones I would die when I choose them because their weak spots were just too bad. I know I can swap them mid level but sometimes it gets stressful where I'm swapping between them quickly (and this is probably my fault) and I miss click something not doing what I wanted too. Then the whole thing resets and you are stuck there grinding up again till you reach the same point again. I know thats the point to feel like an arcade game-ish but I don't like it a huge amount. Cool game but change some things in my opinion.
Really unique take on classic genre! Love the minimalist look and feel on this, though few first levels feel a bit dry with their monoculture mobs and nothing much else. There is surprising level of depth in seemingly brainless all out shoot. With wrong approach, you are not going to cut it. I would call this a tactical shoot'em up. Game is really hard though, even on easy, and some of the controls are giving me headache. Developer is responsive for feedback as I hope to see controls option to bind buttons to directly fire each of the different weapons and their respective supermodes. Recommended to those who want to hit their head hard on a novel type of challenging action. I use keyboard, but could work better with pad really.
A quality game!
Masterpiece, absolutly recommend for SHMUP lovers. waiting modding support!) also waiting for some game modifiers))
