The game is set in 2084, on the distant Deep Space Colony K-7 space station. The colony has been attacked by a mysterious crystallization process of unknown origin, which threatens to completely consume the station and its inhabitants. The player’s task is to stop the infection and clean up the sectors using special vaccine projectiles.
The game combines fast reflexes with strategic thinking as you manage three different bullet types, cascading blocks, and an accelerating threat level.
