Players Like...

❤ Gameplay Mechanics

Players select a mutated animal character and blast through randomized "episodes". An innovative auto-aim system forces players to stop moving while shooting. Four distinct character classes offer unique starting weapon and equipment combinations. Strategic dodging and precise positioning determine survival.

❤ Combat and Progression

Each run generates a fresh arsenal of 20+ weapons with wildly different behaviors. Players unlock permanent upgrades through a "sponsor" system with 30 tiers. Later stages introduce increasingly complex enemy patterns and environmental hazards. Branching room paths allow players to strategically plan their route.

❤ Distinctive Shooting Dynamics

Stopping to shoot creates intense risk-reward moments. Players must carefully time attacks and movement. The system transforms traditional twin-stick shooter mechanics. Encourages methodical, calculated engagement with enemy swarms.

❤ Variety and Replayability

Weapons range from electrical turrets to lava-spewing cannons. Perks stack multiplicatively, potentially creating absurdly powerful character builds. Randomized runs guarantee unique experiences. Endless mode challenges veteran players with escalating difficulty.

❤ Multiplayer Experience

Local co-op supports up to 4 chaotic players. Players can steal power-ups or strategically collaborate. Steam Remote Play provides online connectivity. Adds competitive and cooperative layer to each run.

❤ Visual and Thematic Style

Cartoon-style graphics blend cute characters with extreme gore. Inspired by "Happy Tree Friends" dark humor aesthetic. Vibrant, over-the-top visual design enhances gameplay intensity.

❤ Player Consensus

Gamers celebrate innovative shooting mechanics, hilarious and unpredictable gameplay, high-energy cooperative experiences, and darkly comedic presentation.

❤ Potential Drawbacks

Auto-aim system feels restrictive initially. Occasional unfair randomization. Limited online multiplayer options.
