MOTHERGUNSHIP is a bullet-hell FPS hybrid facing you, Earth’s last hope, against the fleets of data-hoarding robotic alien invaders. Take the fight to the enemy, craft gun monstrosities that no reasonable person could ever lift, and experience randomized mayhem as you battle your way to the heart of the fleet to destroy the MOTHERGUNSHIP!
