Bunny-hop physics
Run, jump, slide and chain hops to build momentum. Hit MAX VELOCITY and the swarm can't keep up. The Spaceman jets, the Gorilla climbs walls.
How a run works
Keep moving. Everything else shoots.
Every run drops you into a fresh procedural map with a clock that never stops. Level up, draft your build, open lockers and survive long enough to punch through the boss portal.
Hands-free arsenal
31 auto-firing weapons, from a trusty pistol to pocket black holes. Level them to 40 with crits, burn, freeze and poison.
Gadget Lockers
Spend bolts to pop open lockers stuffed with 83 gadgets across four rarities. Common to Legendary, every one changes the run.
Charging Pylons
Stand in the ring while the horde closes in. Hold it long enough and it pays out a random stat boost. Golden pylons pay way more.
Three-stage runs
Swarms, elites and minibosses ramp up on a timeline. Bust the boss, jump the portal, and do it again two more times. Higher tiers hit harder.
Silver & the Shop
Die, cash in your silver and buy permanent upgrades between runs. Or gamble it on Mystery Capsules for skins and gear.

The arsenal
Weapons fire on their own. Modules juice your stats every level-up. Gadgets stack, synergise and occasionally break the game in your favour. Pick one to inspect it.
Pick a map, pick a tier
Where it all goes down
Every map is three stages long and rebuilds itself each run. Clear a tier to push into the next, where everything hits harder.
Forest
A green place full of trees, birds, and great vibes. Also everything will try to kill you.

Desert
A hot, dry and dusty place.
