You play as an axolotl fighting animal enemies in a top-down bullet-hell shooter. Each run takes you through randomized rooms across different biomes, where you collect weapons, food, and power-ups before facing bosses.
Build each run around the guns, items, weapon mods, and abilities you find, choosing between ranged and melee combat. You can play alone or team up with another player in local or online co-op and share power-ups.
Rescue baby Axolittles and find eggs during runs, then bring them back to the pond to raise into playable fighters with their own abilities. Cooking recipes provides permanent stat improvements, while repeated runs unlock more weapons and other content.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its cute art and animations, responsive shooting, and the fun of combining characters, weapons, and upgrades; some also enjoy playing co-op with a friend. Critical reviews frequently describe the runs as repetitive and progression as grindy, and many report unreliable multiplayer, including connection problems and pauses while a partner interacts with menus or characters. Opinions on the challenge and balance vary, with some finding combat satisfying and others describing damage or difficulty as frustrating.
