A few points the developer makes about it:
QuoteYour screen will be black with bullets.

Enter things.

Procedurally generated everything. Almost everything.

100% boss-free.

This game would not exist without the inspiration that I drew from games like Spelunky, Shoot First, Disgaea, Borderlands, Everyday Shooter, Psychonauts, Soul Reaver, and Prey.

"Larger than the known universe" is not an exaggeration. You will reach the relative scale of the known universe after level 14.

165,000 basic weapon combinations is a lot.

"Infinite" is kind of a misnomer, because 32-bit integers run out eventually. You will reach the upper kill screen (one step up from level 2,147,483,647) after about 2043 years of continuous play. Though with diligence, you can reach the lower kill screen in just 68 years.

53 people tested this game, and they played it an average of 10.89 times each.

This game is a tactical-situation generating machine.
