User Reviews
very unique, very fun
a bit of a slow start for the first 30min, very fun for the next 6 hours
Good gameplay idea fairly well executed. Not sure why youd ever pick a direction module other than something circular though.
This game has a fun and fresh combination of elements from other games. I love the feeling of building a crazy combo weapon and demolishing every enemy on screen. This was a quick game but i enjoyed my playtime fore sure. Also as a side note it plays awesome on the steamdeck.
I only wish it had more content
