Gameplay-wise, this game was really really fun, and paced perfectly. Exploration stage was cool, as was survival and sniper missions. I'm eager to beat Berry's high score. Story , art, and theme were decent too and that ending was about as cosmic horror as you get. I do have a gripe with the bullets coming out of the characters feet, and the freeze bullets effectively giving enemies invincibility. Not a big deal. I'd say this was a really good entry.

The shooting mechanic and gameplay are really nicely and neatly implemented! It was so fun and easy to get used to! And I find myself just dashing around, shooting them cosmic threat with such eagerness! xD The music are also very bop! So that was lovely! Custom assets used are really nice as well! :D Very adorbs style that draws you in with its snowy mysterious atmosphere! I like the inventory management in this game, which is a subtle but just as important part of the gameplay mechanic! I also thought it was fun getting a follower in the game! It felt like I was playing an RPG version of a Resident Evil game, which was cool! :D The sniping part was also really well done! Joker has done some really great eventing with this! :D
Overall, what a fun experience! Looking forward to more games from the dev!! <3
Its you vs them.
A rather fun shoot 'em up game. The story is very minimalistic but the atmosphere of the game makes up for it. The cold and harsh surroundings the player find themselves in does manage to create a very depressing and apocalyptic feeling. The game is separated into stages, one of which is an arena survival segment which was my personal highlight.
One advice I can give to future players is to remap the controls in the options menu as by default the menu open key is very close to the shooting keys, so play around with the menu until you find a setup that suits you best.
The final mission can be a bit frustrating as the target's hit boxes won't behave ever so often.
Other then that the game runs perfectly bug free and was a blast to play.
