About This Game

Set on a possessed, fragmenting space station, two fugitives (an underrabbit and a broken robot) must attempt the impossible and get to the source of the possession to claim their freedom and the spoils.

UNIQUE EVERY PLAYTHOUGH

Hand painted and procedurally generated. Look a little closer to see graphite from our original, scanned-in sketches on in-game assets. Our bespoke system delivers a striking style and personality with millions of permutations per run. No two playthroughs will be the same.

COLLECT AND MOD YOUR ARSENAL

Find them all, from simple blasters to kaos evoking dimension weapons, and everything in between. Get weapon mods and attachments from chests and the shopkeeper's room, his wares are worth it, if you can put up with his snarky comments.

NINE BOSSES, NINE LEVELS

Each of the nine levels has its own terrifying gatekeeper. The bosses will use unique tactics to really mess with your day. These behemoths want one thing and one thing only - stopping you in your tracks. You'll need to use everything in your arsenal to get past them.

MANIPULATE TIME

With newly imbued powers, you can pause, slow and rewind time! Smoothly dodge through showers of projectiles, escape rapid foes and avoid the perils of the decaying space station. And when your time runs out, just steal some time energy from your enemies.

MEET THE CHARACTERS

Dig into the Lore, just what is going on in this Loridian Ring Hub? How long until Big Stick Enterprises arrive, and who are these survivors? The characters you meet along the way will reveal all.

UPGRADES, UPGRADES, UPGRADES

Find and upgrade a slew of special abilities. Will you go stealth or health? Deploy mines and orbital drops or hack and dance your way through the run? Use the quick access radial menu to change builds on the fly. Tweak your loadout before you start, manage perks from previous runs.

A CLASSIC COUCH CO-OP

The 2 Fugitives vs The World! Fight and explore back to back, combine resources, cover each other, you got this together.
