More about it (from the Steam page):

Proven Boomer Shooter Formula:

- Run & jump around levels like a complete badass.
- Beat the living hell out of enemies and blow them up with powerful weapons like there's no tomorrow.
- Abstract level design heavily aimed at fun and engaging gameplay rather than realism.
- Figure out how to beat each level and find its deviously hidden secrets.

So What's the Special Sauce?

- Badass Protagonist: We're bringing back the sassy, witty one-liners like Duke Nukem mixed with the rotten charisma of Frankenstein's monster.
- Use your Spectral Shovel to get around quickly and confuse enemies.
- Collect Tarot Cards to significantly boost your power level and combat options.
- Upgrade your weapons to unlock additional fire modes and synergies.
- Make your own levels with the integrated Level Editor! (This will officially come out with the full release of the game.)

It's currently rated Very Positive on Steam after releasing into Early Access in January 2025. Valve's verification for Steam Deck was using the latest Proton 9.0-4.
