March 2026
I liked it a lot. I got my money's worth. I play on the couch with a gamepad and let's be real, a game like this is best M+K. But with the very mild auto-aim it was quite playable and I felt satisfied by the level of challenge. I thought for a fairly minimalist game there was a fair bit of depth. You have to manage heat for your single weapon (chosen at start) and the Spikes. Spikes do all kinds of neat things like let you rocket jump, and you come down with a huge stomp that does damage and shoots a forward blast of shrapnel as well. You can upgrade your weapons, body, and spikes with different powers. Just a lot of simple, quick fun.

Might look a bit crude, but it's a very engaging FPS arena shooter. The spike staff adds a lot both to your combat abilities and your arena mobility once you learn you can launch yourself high in the air with them. Having some more variation to the arena, instead of same layout with different obstacles, would be nice in case the dev plans to build on top of this game with a sequel.

A fun little area shooter with a simple rouge-lite system. Not a bad game for the cost of a cup of coffee!
