How it plays

Your ship fights across multiple weapon types and projectiles, encouraging experimentation.

Upgrades stack across runs, creating increasingly capable builds with distinct identities.

Upgrade system

The upgrade system is designed for variety and adaptability. Core enhancements boost survivability and mobility, while weapon options provide different attack rhythms and ranges. Modifications amplify chosen loadouts, enabling clever combos, and amulets flip combat dynamics by influencing timing, targeting, or defensive capabilities.

Replay value

Every run presents a different combination of upgrades, amulets, and weapons. The interplay between permanent progress and run-specific choices creates diverse strategies, ensuring no two sessions feel the same. Mastery comes from learning how to weave upgrades into effective builds under time pressure and escalating threats.
