1–4 player co-op · Noir bullet-hell twin-stick shooter

Halvorsen Home Systems pushed a firmware update that should have wiped its older androids. Thousands woke up with a will of their own instead. The insurer wants every claim settled, and it's sending you into Los Ceniza to settle them, one magazine at a time.
