A cozy time survival roguelite in space. You steer the shippy while the shooting happens automatically. Meet cute NPCs, solve small quests, and fight quirky enemies with satisfying weapons. A shorter experience for people who don't have much time but love playing (and finishing) games.

Players Like...

❤ Satisfying Bullet Hell Blasting

Players praise the game's engaging combat, where automatic firing allows them to focus on maneuvering their ship and dodging enemy projectiles. The various weapon effects, like "BOOM" and "PFRZZZZ," provide a strong sense of impact and feedback, making each encounter feel satisfying.

❤ Unique Ship Playstyles Encourage Experimentation

One of the game's standout strengths is the diversity offered by its four unlockable ships, each with their own distinct mechanics and playstyles. For instance, the "Brizzel" ship can transform into a powerful tank with multiple weapons, while the "Looky" ship relies solely on its engine for offense, having no weapons at all. This variety encourages players to experiment and discover the ship that best suits their preferred playstyle.

❤ Bite-Sized Runs Respect Player Time

The game's 10-minute run structure is widely praised, catering to players who don't have the time for longer gaming sessions. Reviewers appreciate how this time-respecting design provides a complete and satisfying experience within a brief timeframe, without feeling overly grindy or repetitive.

❤ Persistent Progression Through Upgrades

While the game's runtime is relatively short, it offers a sense of ongoing progression through its meta-progression system. By collecting chocolate asteroids during runs, players can unlock permanent upgrades for their ships, ensuring that even failed attempts don't feel entirely wasted.

❤ Quests and Narrative Elements Add Variety

The game's quests and narrative elements provide an additional layer of depth and engagement. As players explore the colorful, pixel-art space environment, they encounter various NPCs with humorous, bite-sized quests to complete, such as guiding space cows to their farm planet or solving a Tetris-style puzzle. These quests break up the core survival loop and add a sense of purpose to the gameplay.
