How it feels

A frantic, retro-styled shoot-em-up where you pilot a sentient helicopter through swarms of enemies, blending arcade action with a darkly humorous sci-fi story.

What players say

Players say this is a love letter to the 90s Strike series, but with a goofy sense of humor. The controls split opinion: they feel awkward with keyboard and mouse but work well on a gamepad. The campaign is short and boss fights can be punishing.
