About the Game

A bullet hell pachinko roguelite where the board shoots back. Every run is a life.

Pick a country and a class, then fly through 12 rounds of bullet storms, dodging with one hand and firing with the other, evolving your weapon as you go. Every character is shaped by what you chose, what the board threw at you, and how long they lasted. When one dies, a new one begins.

Dodge, shoot, survive

You pilot an orb through the storm. Weave through the bullets, aim your shots into the chaos, and clear the gold before the clock runs out. Miss your window and the board buries you. Your weapon levels up every round, until your build either carries the run or gets you killed.

Every country plays different

Each country has its own mechanic. Japan shoves pegs into their neighbors. Canada leaves an ice trail behind your ball. Norway sends Viking raiders across the board on wall bounces. Mexico hides a piñata in every round. Find the ones that fit how you play.

What's in this free demo

The complete core game, not a timed slice: a full 12-round run with boss fights, the weapon-evolution and installation systems, global leaderboards, and a starter selection of countries and classes.

What the full game adds

Endless mode, the full roster of countries and classes, many more mid-run bosses, a pile of new game-changing upgrades, and the full Life+ difficulty ladder.

Your demo progress and leaderboard placements stay in the demo. The full game is a separate purchase.
