Seek advantageous positions and aim carefully to target high-priority enemies while preserving cover and pickups. The odds are stacked against you, so sharp skill and flawless tactics are your only shot at victory.

Hello
tried to download, Windows Defender triggered a severe Trojan into it, and removed the file
Hello,
Thank you for reporting this. Unfortunately, it is a false-positive by Windows Defender. If you scan with other anti-virus software, it should report that the game is free of malware. Here is a public scan of the game files: https://hybrid-analysis.com/sample/b77d87cc8c5dcf3d6c8dec0c48faf7692594811962530...
downloaded the update, all fine now :)
the game is fun, i like the mechanic, high score oriented
is it possible to customize the gamepad controls?
i would prefer to crouch using the down on dpad, using RB is a bit odd to me
I'm glad the warning went away. Thank you for trying my game!
You can rebind the controls by pressing F1 and then navigating to Settings > Operation Settings.
In the previous version, the mouse cursor is hidden so it might be difficult to change the controls. I just updated the game to show the mouse cursor.
