A fast paced bullet hell where your ship doesn't shoot — you dash through enemies to destroy them. 

The game has a variety of power-ups, enemy types, and bosses that create interesting and distinct challenges when surviving through waves. Though the minimalistic gameplay is easy to learn, it's also hard to master.





This is a demo version and contains just a few enemies and power ups. The full game will have:

  • Roguelike Mode: Complete all levels, defeat enemies and *super bosses*, build your strategy by choosing and upgrading power ups. Your progress is reset on death, but your upgrades are kept
  • Arcade Mode: Endless waves of enemies. Test your skills and see how far you can go
  • + Power Ups and Upgrades
  • + Enemy Types
  • + Bosses

If you liked the demo and want to try the full game, wishlist it on Steam and get notified once the game is released.

Mechanics

  • Dash: Charge the dash and release to go forward and destroy enemies and bullets. Hitting an enemy will extend your dash forward, use the right angle to destroy more enemies with a single dash.
  • Dash Canceling: You can cancel your dash midway to stop at a better position.
  • Power Ups: According to the game mode you selected it will be different how you select and upgrade power ups. Power ups have specific triggers, like number of kills or dash levels.
  • Dash Levels: Each level requires you to destroy an amount of enemies, starting with 2. If you do it the dash level will increase, triggering all power ups for that level. The amount of enemies to be destroyed  increases with the dash level.
  • Health Restoring: After getting hit you have a chance to restore your HP by completing the challenge. It can be something that will put you in more risk, so its your choice to do it.

------------------

Controls

You can remap controls ingame.

  • WSAD : to move
  • Aim with your mouse
  • Space Bar: charges the Dash
  • Space Bar: cancel the Dash

this is really fun.   dash cancelling is a deceptively simple mechanic.   would love to see some more interesting powerups and whatnot.   i'll def come back and play this again

thanks! I really appreciate it, makes me want to work more on the project.

Fun game! Enjoyed my time with it. If I was extremely bored, I would play and see if I could get an better high score. I don't really have a lot to say about it but I feel it's a great mini game to kill time but not for long sessions but Its a great mini game experiance. I mean its a a challenge like simple controls and cute graphics is all you really need to know to be honest.

Ótimo jogo! Consegui usar toda a mecânica e o game se torna muito envolvente à medida que avancei níveis e consegui power ups. Estou ansioso pelo lançamento do jogo completo, parabéns!

Muito obrigado por jogar e deixar o feedback!

parabéns pelo jogo, as cores e efeitos sonoros ficaram top

minha maior dificuldade foi com os controles, aparentemente não estou conseguindo fazer dash pra cima nem pra esquerda.

Obrigado por jogar! Vou tentar achar e resolver esse bug.

Acredito que vc não usou o mouse para mirar (?) Vi outra pessoa com o mesmo problema, talvez tenha sido isso.

era isso mesmo, vou retestar com mais calma e posto aqui meu feedback

Well done 👏🏻

sorry about that, the english version has a bug where it says its the left mouse button but its actually the space bar...

you can dash with the space bar or remap the controls in configs in the main menu.

I'll push a fix in a few hours! Thanks.

No problem! I figured it out after a while
