About the Game

A difficult twin-stick shmup set in a grim world cursed by demons and ghouls.

Frantic Battles in a Grim World

  • Unlike most shmups, this world is made up of flesh, bones, and dirt instead of the common rigid objects such as ships set in space.
  • Each enemy type has a unique set of behaviors.
  • Most foes do not follow preset patterns. Instead, they try to hunt you down.
  • Some enemies fly in close for melee combat. Others will shoot from a far away range.

Co-op Twin-Stick Action

  • The game blends the insanity of shmups with the free range of motion of twin-stick shooters.
  • Find a friend. Find a couch. Have tons of fun with the optional single-screen couch co-op!

Upgradeable Weapons, Bombs, and Shields

  • Collect and enhance a variety of weapons. Influenced by traditional shmups, watch as your weapons’ firing trajectory and pattern change with each upgrade.
  • From heat seeking quills to things that go BOOM, collect them all and use them to crush your foes!
  • Upgrade your shields to withstand relentless attacks.

Play on Windows, Mac, & Linux

  • Best played with a twin-stick controller. Steer with the left stick, aim with the right.
  • Never fear! You can also use your keyboard and mouse.
