How it feels

A frantic, arcade-style run-and-gun shooter with tight controls, pixel art, and a challenging but fair difficulty curve.

What players say

Players love the game itself but complain this port runs poorly with lag, sound bugs, and no working cloud saves. Controls on keyboard accidentally trigger self-destruct, and some players report trouble setting up co-op.
