How it feels

Classic arcade shoot 'em up with fast vertical scrolling action, screen-filling bosses, and a retro sci-fi feel.

What players say

Players describe a simple, short shmup with very easy difficulty, often completing it without dying. The game uses a health mechanic and multiple ships, but some note the ending is always the same regardless of ship choice.
