Gameplay
Gameplay
Taking place somewhere in space, the game is made as a blend of first-person shooter and bullet hell in which the player, who is in the role of a resistance member, must go through a mothership holding an alien robot armada, but must use an oversized arsenal with a gun crafting mechanism, which is essential to the gameplay. The player can pick a variety of weapon attachments to its own weapon at Joe’s Crafting Station, using a unique mix of modular parts via socket. There are three sections to each socket; Connectors which add more sockets, Barrels that represent the firing part of the gun, and Caps that do funny things to your gun. Socket parts have to physically fit into wherever you want to put them while the barrels need to face forward. You can either add or remove any part of the gun you choose. Once their weapon is finished, they can use whatever they made in the levels that are procedurally generated, making each playthrough unique. The game allows cooperative gameplay online.
Development

The developers released a demo in May 2018 to show how the gun crafting would work in the game.
