Armed with a magical boomerang, slice, fly, and dive through flocks of evil creatures in this acrobatic arena shooter. Obliterate wave after wave and journey ever downwards into the shadows.

Runs well on modern hardware.

The game was incredible when I first played it almost five years ago, and it's just as incredible now. It's a shame that the developers shut down and the game seems to have been completely overlooked, with only 1k reviews (albeit overwhelmingly positive ones). It's a tightly packed experience that you could definitely "beat" in one sitting, and paying $20 for that might be a tall ask for some folks, but the game isn't lacking in content or quality. You're constantly getting new skills, interesting levels, striking environments and challenging enemies every few minutes, all wrapped with a great soundtrack. You'll start off feeling like the movement and controls are a little cumbersome, but the game is designed in such a way that by the end you'll feel both stylish and untouchable - a result of how well the game subtly teaches you to engage and intertwine all of its mechanics. It's short, sure - but if you want a genuine hidden gem, this is it.
Fantastic game. Super unique concept executed really well. Right amount of challenge as the levels progress. I struggled to play more because it gave me immense motion sickness which I’ve never experienced in a game before. I’m just predisposed to that sort of thing though. Not a fault of the game.
It looks amazing and it's really fun. On a sale it's definitely worth picking up.
