About the Game

Throwback shooter where gibing is required, and being near death is mandatory.
Gibs give you ammo, and you can only heal when near death.



The game will include 4 episodes, containing many maps.
Like an adrenaline shot, these maps are made to be cleared in one go, as brutally as possible.

Use your lead spitting arsenal to fend of waves of projectile blasting enemies, to survive in these
old school bullet hell gauntlets.

Sporting a hardcore industrial electronic soundtrack to get your adrenaline pumping, the bass will keep pumping
while you've still got blood in your veins (or health in your bar).

Inspired by the likes of Serious Sam and Duke Nukem 3D, this game is loyal to its roots, straight to the point, gory and action packed.

A short experience dense with oddities, bizarre environments and a lot of abominable sights.

This game includes auto-saves, and general settings customization including:
  • Sound Mixer
  • Resolution
  • Window Type
  • V-Sync

Go for broke, or don't go at all.

The enemies are parasites, it's you against them.
Never yield.
