I mistakenly thought at first that this was a roguelike. Whoops!

This is an interesting twin-stick shooter, anyway. It's mostly based around a key slowdown mechanic which can be used to more easily dodge projectiles and kill creatures faster.

Thankfully, it doesn't make things all that trivial, in the later stages. In the earlier stages though it does feel a bit simple, but then there are challenges like finishing the levels without being hit, without eating, fast enough, and/or while destroying all barrels.

I dislike though that it's framerate locked to 30fps (insert typical 60fps spiel here) and that I have to unplug my controller to even play with my mouse.
