A frantic, retro-inspired arcade shooter where you defend cities with fast and fluid movement.

What players say

Players describe it as a modernized Defender-style twin-stick shooter with upgrades between levels and different ship classes. The game is short, with one reviewer beating it in about two hours and another noting achievement completion takes under an hour. Opinions are split on content: some find it lacking while others enjoy the risk-reward money collecting and tough level 20 boss.
