Gameplay
Gameplay
Players progress through levels that consist of small, enclosed spaces in which they are restricted to staying within the edges. Players can attack their enemies using twin-stick shooter controls and must avoid enemy waves of enemy attacks, as in bullet hell games. To avoid attacks, players can dash around the level, essentially teleporting to the opposite side. New weapons are unlocked on each level, and dying returns players to a checkpoint.
