Themes from a helpfulness-selected sample of Steam reviews, not the aggregate Steam score.
You control a shooter inside a game window that continually shrinks. Aim and fire at its edges to push them back and reshape your play area while dodging attacks.
Fight hordes of enemies and bosses, some presented in their own windows. During runs, use shop screens to choose upgrades and perks that affect your build and survival.
Play as different characters, unlock more content, and choose among modes that include endless runs, a 20-minute timed run, and challenges with set upgrades. The game also supports local co-op and mods.
Players often enjoy the unusual use of the game window as part of the arena, especially the way shooting its edges ties into movement, defense, and aiming. Reviews also praise the challenging, quick-run action and the variety offered by different characters, modes, and customization. Some players find the runs lose variety over time, and others report performance problems or say the mechanics could be explained more clearly.
