A downloadable game for Windows

Dive into the high-octane chaos of our twin-stick shooter, inspired by Nex Machina. Crafted by a passionate team of 13 students, this game delivers a fast and intense experience that will keep your adrenaline pumping from start to finish.


Set in the desolate remains of a once-thriving civilization, you play as a determined robot on a desperate climb to escape the encroaching sandstorm below. As you ascend through the ruins, relentless waves of hostile bug-like robots hunt you down, pushing your reflexes to the limit.


Shoot your way to the top in a fierce battle for survival. Can you outpace the storm and emerge victorious in this relentless climb?

Original: 

Whould love to play however, there is no keyboard and mouse support :(


Edit:

In the mean time I got my hands on a controller and played the game. It's and amazing top down shooter, the movement and shooting feels great.

Some feedback however, after the first run the difficulty does not increase however you keep you power-ups. This makes the game very easy once you have all the power-ups. I would have loved to see more enemies spawn with more health. To maken positioning of the character more important.

The power-ups feel great though. They feel really impact full and gives you the feeling of being this powerful badass!

Overall a great game with a lot of potential for future expansion.

So I did play it, and oh my lord, I am loving the experience, it is very very fun to play and hypes me up just from the music, this does bring me when like when I used to play Dead Ops Arcade on call of duty, would very much recommend this game!

Glad you liked it! Have you tried changing the songs up too? There's a setting for it in the main menu, and in my biased opinion they're all bangers.
