The developers then started work on a full version and took it to Steam's Early Access.

Typical for the genre the game is meant to be played in multiple runs, with randomized environments, and weapon and monster placement for each session.

It consists of several levels played in succession, each with a different theme, until the character gets a shot to claim the nuclear throne and become the new king.

Many levels contain bosses with a brief introduction.

There is permadeath and up to twelve different playable characters can be unlocked, representing different playing styles.

Next to the basic attack each character has a unique secondary action such as a roll or forming a shield, along with a general perk.

The game is played as a twin-stick shooter where both movement and firing in any direction can be independently combined.

Levels are short and always consist of a single, scrolling room.

When all enemies are defeated a vortex appears that sucks the character into the next level.

Levels contain random chests with weapons such as a revolver, machinegun, smart gun, minigun, shotgun, rifles, an incinerator, sluggers, bows, grenade launchers and bazookas, but also melee weapons such as a wrench or a screwdriver.

Ranged weapons usually have a limited amount of ammo and require ammo pick-ups to keep using them.

Up to two weapons can be carried and they can be swapped when a new one is encountered.

Enemies leave behind radioactive fragments known as rads.

These can also be found as pick-ups.

Mutations are perks permanent for that run and include a larger bullet capacity, less damage, more health, better range, be
