This game was actually inspired from a dream I had about a game where you are a circle that can only shoot giant blasts of black laser. Sounds kinda weird, but I feel compelled to make a game based off that dream.

I’m lucky for having that dream because it became great inspiration for a simple game mechanic that I can try to create a fun experience from. The name is strange, but it was catchy for some reason. It also sounds abstract, which is very much the intended feel for this game.

The aim of this game is to continuously fight procedurally assembled bosses. What that means is that the bosses are made of many parts that are randomly chosen when they are created. The parts are modular, so shooting an arm off only destroys the arm and not the whole boss.
