You can't kill, not at first.

You pilot a small alien, condemned by their own kind into escalating waves of enemies and bullet patterns, armed with nothing but your legs. Getting closer to the enemy seems to make you more powerful and have you unlock new mechanics to get your revenge and rack up points as you do so.

Risk yourself to counter-attack.

Staying close to a bullet keeps giving you points the whole time, not only when you pass it. It also fills your bomb, so the longer you stay in trouble the more you get out of it.

Your sword starts with two hits, and upgrades can give you more. When you use the last charge you throw it across the screen and it destroys everything in its path.

You can parry enemies and their attacks, turning what should have killed you into your own attack.

Your bomb clears everything and reduces spawn rates for twenty seconds. If you get hit while carrying one you get one last chance to mash your way out of death.

Change up your run.

Fusions are upgrades you pick during the run and they stack into different builds. Some of them finally let you shoot, some make you almost impossible to kill.

"The safest way to play is not always the most rewarding."

What's in the game:

39 bullet hell wave patterns

10 mutators and multiple difficulties with their own patterns

10 different mechanic changing fusions

Roguelite upgrades and fusion builds

Score milestones, capsules and 24 unlockable skins

CRT and VCR presentation, customizable stars, filters, hitboxes and keybinds

A tutorial character who talks more than necessary

When you die everything freezes and you explode three times, each one bigger than the last. Then you see how far you got, how many grazes and parries you had, and how long you lasted.
