Simple but fun survivor style game in space. Survive a bit longer each run and defeat more bosses, unlock more abilities and gain better stats. Fly around between the outposts to collect the goodies while mowing down bigger and bigger hordes. The cartoony but flashy art and effects are pleasing to look at. It's really cheap and therefor an easy recommend.

Let me just say a few words: Addictive yet dreamy game for Multitaskers who prefers their brains be tested to the potential limits :P

I recommend playing this game, the only thing that leaves an slightly unpleasant taste in my mouth is the art. First of, I don't like AI art in general, but what irks me here is the inconsistency of the art. The from character to character and the outpost to outposts. Other than that, this is a decent game with nice progression, but it might seem to be a tad bit repetitive later on when you run out of things to unlock and the next unlock might take too long..

One of the more fun Twin-stick shooter bullet heavens I've ever played. The basic game is solid, with lots of fun meta progression. But the real meat of the game comes from the higher challenges, like solo challenges where you can only get weapons and upgrades from the character you're playing. I heartily suggest this game to anyone that enjoys bullet heavens. A very solid addition to any library, for an incredibly low price.

7/10 Decent rogue-lite, space setting is a bit unique. Good amount of content for price and some nice challenges, that aren't just grind mobs. Art style is clear and game play is very smooth. Recommended to all rogue-lite fans.
