How it feels

A frantic, cartoonish shoot-em-up where you blast through swarms of robots with twitchy twin-stick controls.

What players say

Players describe a solid twin-stick shooter with a short, clean campaign and snappy controls, though the many weapons feel like variations on a theme rather than truly distinct. It is consistently called a hidden gem for its polished arcade action and stylish presentation reminiscent of Nintendo's Good-Feel pedigree.
