Shoot, slice and blow your way through the relentless swarm in a top-down pixel art world. At your service is a combat drone, reclaim scrap and use refinery for health & resupply. Explore and find upgrades, defeat the hive mind.
Genetically modified insectoids are the product of an isolated top-secret research base. As a consequence of experimentation, a mutation enabled the bugs to break captivity. They began replicating exponentially and have annihilated the facility. Your team has been dispatched to prepare the site for cleanup, an extermination.

You can play the game while spawning in explosive barrels, more enemies, teleporting around and regenerating your health.
