Dance around the enemies in this fast-paced shoot-em-up!

In a faraway land, the people have mastered the arcane portals, mystical passageways through which to travel across the land, trade goods, and build connections. Not all peace are meant to last, however, as one day eldricht power leaked into all portals of this world, breeding monsters and abominations. The people can only watch as the source of their prosperity become the source of their own undoing.

Decades later, monsters roam the world and those remained have hardened, living with guns on one hand and magical tomes on the other, ready to fight for their survival against the beast of the portals. Among these, some still cling to the golden days past, and seek to exterminate all monsters by going into the lion's den itself - the portals.

These hunters are now known as Swiper, and they will be the restorer of those halcyon days.

Features

Curved movements that challenge traditional shmup players to out think themselves and navigate the map.
Robust upgrading system upon scoring high amount of kills. Upgrades are pulled from an inventory of over 10 items. Each playthrough will present players with different augment pathways, presenting different choices and replay values. And where there is choice, there is complexity.
Three levels, each with its own distinct aesthetic and enemies.
No pause, unrelenting waves of enemies and merciless progression. If the player dies at any point before completing all three levels, the player needs to go back to the beginning.

Control

WSAD will be your standard movement scheme. Each button moves your character in the corresponding direction in a curved, clockwise trajectory.
Consecutive hits of the same direction will revert the trajectory to counterclockwise, and then clockwise again, and so on.

Combo two directional movement buttons at the same time to move diagonally in a straight line. This will make movement much more intuitive but the players will not be able to shoot. Swiper is all about killing with style so he will only shoot in a curve.
