How it feels

A frantic, colorful arcade shoot-'em-up where you juggle energy for firing, movement, and upgrades while chasing a villain through sky and sea.

What players say

Players praise the art, music, and charm from Sonic Mania alumni, but are split on the difficulty. Many describe a punishing upgrade system where dying at a checkpoint can trap you in a deathloop, and co-op is reportedly broken for player 2. The game is short at four levels.
