About the game

You're outnumbered, low on ammunition and the paranoia sets in. This is an action horror-world where enemies get power-ups and you don’t.

    The idea and pixel art are neat, but this game is too unforgiving in my opinion - especially considering how everything is a 1-hit kill. There are PLENTY of ways to make an honest mistake, and there are enemies that just pop up and surprise you. Cool game but pass.

    Very good in its simplicity.
