Moving between lanes to dodge incoming fire while building the perfect hand creates a combat system that feels both intuitive and surprisingly deep.

With a very cute character design, a story full of humor and interesting background and with an OST composed by Nuke in collaboration with C418, this game captures very well that space environment that makes it stand out so much, the developers and composers really captured technically his own atmosphere.
