Shoot corrupting monsters and save mankind's last hard-drive with your rechargeable laser-beam! ... But your aiming has a mind of its own, so you'll have to make do!

This is a tight arcade single-stick arena shooter! Were you looking for a tough-but-fair retro-styled challenge?

This game features:

• 🔫 tight top-down shooting action
• 💾 40 levels
• 💀 2 additional difficulty modes
• 🔒 30+ unlockable unique upgrades to help you through the levels
• 👩‍💻 6 skills to improve strategically
• ⚡ a lot of explosions and sparks
• ⏱ a timer for time-attack / speedrunning purposes

Controls:

This game can be played either with a keyboard or a game controller! There can be some confusion as to the actual controls as we don't have an in-game tutorial, so here they are:

• the arrows, or WASD, or the left stick of a controller, or the D-pad to move around
• [X] or (A) to use the laser-beam
• [C] or (B) to use the bomb

Additionally, here's a little tip: after selecting a level, and after you've unlocked some upgrades, you can select unlocked upgrades by pressing down instead of confirming the [restore file] prompt. We're sorry we didn't manage to communicate this better in-game, we'll do better next time!

Here is a short introduction video made by Bigaston. The video is in french but has english subtitles, and it explains the game really well.
