The flight controls allow players to precisely control their spacecraft, thrusting in any direction, even backwards.

The ability to quickly change direction and thrust in any way is a key part of the combat's addictive and skillful nature.

Each run presents new opportunities to discover powerful and novel upgrade combinations. The game features over 300 randomized items, including passive stat boosts, active abilities, and a wide array of unique weapons. Reviewers highlight the depth and complexity, noting many items have both positive and negative effects. Players must carefully consider how different upgrades and armaments synergize with their playstyle.

❤ Intense and Chaotic Combat

The screen becomes filled with explosions, debris, and hazards as the combat escalates in this fast-paced "bullet hell" experience. Reviewers praise the "juicy" and impactful feeling of the weapons and attacks, such as aerial melee strikes and teleporting hyperspace dodges. Visual effects like screen shake and hit-lag enhance the visceral sensation, even as the high difficulty, especially against later bosses, requires mastery of the responsive controls.

❤ Procedural Environments and Objectives

Each run features randomized environments and mission objectives to keep the experience fresh. Levels are divided into different zones with unique enemy types and challenges, such as hunting ace pilots, performing reconnaissance scans, or defending against ground targets. Reviewers appreciate the variety provided by these procedural elements, which ensure no two runs play out exactly the same.
