About this game

A multiplayer shooter that continues the tradition of cave-schmups, a very specific genre originated from the Finnish freeware scene. There is a closed space, there are from two to eight players, there is a choice from many different cool ships and weapons - and the task is to kill all enemies! At first it seems that everything is simple, but then, having touched every type of weapon, you understand that everything is much more complicated. Certain colors in the level pictures are interpreted as certain materials: silver is the landing areas where you can land to change weapons and repair the ship. Brown burns beautifully, red explodes with great power, blue and turquoise turn into water, which very realistically splashes and flows if it is allowed. Optionally, it is possible to turn on the rain in the level settings (and the level will be gradually filled with water, under which the dynamics of the ships change radically) or snow that will change the shape of levels beyond recognition.
