Zero time wasted. Nailbitingly fast and intense. Pretty awesome.

Early Access Review
It's an action-roguelike-arena-survival-upgrade-fest at it's core, but it's packed with a lot more unlockables and extra layers than I was expecting. It's really cool that you can buy traps and item dispensers to place around the arena, which respawn in every subsequent run.

My only real criticism is that it's quite difficult to distinguish between enemies and allies and my own character, and some of the character sprites blend into the background a bit too. This is alleviated by some bright outline options, but it would be nice to have more contrast in the sprites themselves. Having said that, the pixel art is excellent and so is the music.

It plays flawlessly on Steam Deck.

Well worth the asking price (and then some).

Nails the retro aesthetic while also feeling modern and slick. It plays great on Steam Deck and I'm definitely going to enjoy dipping back into it for quick runs when I have a spare 10 minutes.

Great little puzzle game! Easy to understand but challenging to solve; exactly what you want from a puzzle game. Lovely pixel art presentation as well, with clear feedback throughout.

Plays perfectly on Steam Deck too (despite being unverified at the time of writing this review).

There's a 'blink and you'll miss it' pace to the combat. You spawn in a level and you need to get to the exit, but there are several enemies in the way. They shoot at you on sight and their bullets kill you in one hit. Your bullets kill them in one hit. Some of them can't be killed. Some of them don't need to be killed. Maybe you can circle round them and dive into the exit while their bullets slam into the walls right behind you.

Oh no. You misjudged it. Back to level 1. You'll be back to that level again within seconds though.

I'm nowhere near reaching 100% but having a blast so far.

Update: plays great on Steam Deck too! Even better than its predecessor actually, thanks to being able to hold the fire button.

A fast, fun and interesting take on the auto-battler genre. You don't have a great deal of input during the battle arena parts, so your brain is freed up to focus more on high-level strategy across your run.

Early Access Review
Nice mix of relaxing city-building and arcade score chasing. Chill out and plop tiles down until you can't place any more. Fit them into special objective arrangements to score more points.

Great mod! Nice environment design, some interesting combat encounters and good difficulty curve. I particularly liked how the elevator/cable puzzles were used throughout the first level as a kind of recurring motif.

Intense and frantic crowd-shooting run 'n' gun goodness.
