Pure Arcade Bliss

No meta progression, no roguelike or roguelite elements, no nonsense. Meta progress your own brain as your skills increase and you climb the leaderboards.

Ultra Precise Movement

Your mouse is your character. Weave in and out of hordes of enemies with perfect precision!

Type To Shoot

Each enemy has a specific letter that you must type in order to destroy them. Be careful, typing the wrong key can have dire consequences!

Endless Onslaught

Enemies never stop coming. Fight them off for as long as you can and go for the high score!

Deep Mechanics

Use slow-mo, bombs, parries, and more to destroy your enemies and climb to the top of the leaderboards!
