What players say
Wow, what a game! Everything feels so spot on, the combat, controls, visuals, overall design. Also the very unique locomotion with slow motion and teleporting feels awesome! I usually can't play games like this very well on steam deck with a controller, but this was so well designed for controllers with some aim assist that I have a blast.
This game is about killing bugs and other abominations with a boomerang of all weapons, this is true lore accurate Australia
super fun game! love the movement, art style and minimalism of it all. easy to get into a flow.
