This top-down technical shooter, in the spirit of games like Hotline Miami and Ultrakill, combines skill with strategy for a fast paced, challenging experience. Experience easy-to-learn but hard-to-master technical shooter mechanics, a highly customizable loadout, highly replayable levels, and more!

Features Include

  • 7 Weapons to Use In tandem

  • Extensive customization (5 mods available for each weapon)

  • Several other cooldown-based mechanics (gear collected by the player)

  • A central narrative

  • A complex and diverse set of enemies

  • 5 different difficulties for players of all ability (or those who are just looking for a different experience)

  • Performance related settings adjustments

  • Complex, technical mechanics reminiscent of games like Ultrakill and Doom

  • Secret levels and skins

  • Rewarding rank and leveling systems that encourage both progression and replayability
