A malicious orb casts the Alchemist from his tower and turns the surroundings into enemies. Play as the Alchemist and fight your way upward through the tower.
Dodge incoming attacks and shoot waves of enemies. Movement is focused around switching between two positions, making timing and quick reactions central to surviving the assault.
Defeated enemies drop fragments that help unlock CDs, which add soundtrack tracks and new abilities. Alongside the main ascent, Time Attack and Endless modes offer score-chasing challenges.
Players frequently praise the electronic soundtrack and its fit with the fast-paced arcade action. Some also enjoy building abilities from collected fragments and returning for score-focused modes. A few reviews note that the main story is brief or that enemies and levels can feel repetitive.
