Players pilot a mech through the Megalith, a multi-floor facility lodged in a star, battling to rescue an AI character named Rodney. The game transforms twin-stick shooting into a frantic dance of survival and strategy.

❤ Mech Variety and Playstyles

Nine distinct mechs offer radically different experiences: The Redshift mech freezes time when players stop moving, creating a Superhot-like tactical shooter, a flamethrower mech burns through enemies with close-range devastation, a standard mech providing balanced performance, and mechs with unique weapon systems that fundamentally alter gameplay approaches.

Complex enemy behaviors create breathtaking combat challenges: 150+ enemy types fire bullets that curve, seek, and chain in unpredictable patterns. Players dodge through intricate bullet mazes at high speeds. Difficulty ranges from forgiving to punishingly precise. Bullet patterns demand split-second spatial awareness and reflexive movement.

Shops offer additional strategic purchasing options. Health fragment collection increases survivability.

Procedural generation ensures unique experiences: 500 hand-crafted room configurations, permanent death with incremental progression, and runs that feel distinct due to extensive randomization.

Razor-sharp controls support both keyboard and gamepad. Weapon systems include primary guns, energy weapons, and missile launchers. Regenerating shields provide tactical breathing room. Sprint mechanics enable dynamic positioning.
