Prepare for a unique third-person action experience in Nivoz Running Canned, developed and published by morning glows. This indie title throws you into mission-based gameplay where traditional aiming is out, and a dynamic combat system takes its place.

Instead of precise aiming, players wield a shotgun that fires directly in front of their character, complemented by automatic tracking missiles. The behavior of these missiles is key, adapting to your character's orientation, encouraging players to constantly adjust their firing angles.

Successfully hitting enemies with missiles builds up 'EN,' a resource used to unleash powerful special moves. This innovative approach to combat demands quick reflexes and strategic positioning.

Accompanying you is Nivoz, a mysterious canned robot companion. Nivoz isn't just a follower; players can switch control to this durable robot, utilizing its resilience for scouting new areas or even for combat.

Its unique abilities offer a fresh layer to exploration and tactical engagement.
