It's like Super Crate Box but with more of a party game survive the disasters vibe with a bigger variety of objectives and obstacles you're avoiding. I mess with it, good deal on a sale as it's also short and arcade mode's a bit repetitive and not super interesting if you're going for all chieves after beating the campaign.
