About this game

The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.

The Screen Belongs to Your Enemy — Take It Back!

Classic shmup. Enemies come from every direction and the screen fills up quick. You’re constantly moving, dodging, and trying not to get trapped while everything explodes around you.

No roguelike stuff. No skill trees. No long-term progression systems. Just pure old-school arcade fun.

Positioning is Everything

The empty space on the screen is just as important as your shots. Slip between the patterns, stay mobile, and don’t let them pin you down.

Slow Time

Enemies drop energy. Pick it up and slow everything down so you can actually see what’s going on, weave through the bullets, and line up better shots. Then time snaps back and the chaos returns.

Features

  • Classic arcade shoot ’em up gameplay
  • Slow time by collecting energy from enemies
  • Tight, fast dodging that rewards good movement
  • Bombs for when you’re completely surrounded
  • Practice mode for learning tough parts
  • Single-player score chasing
