How it feels

A blistering old-school arcade shoot 'em up where you must quickly match colored rockets to targets while dodging a storm of bullets.

What players say

Players describe it as a hardcore run-and-gun with a unique color-matching shooting mechanic. The game is very difficult, with some calling it unforgiving, but checkpoints and added difficulty options help. Co-op is available but doesn't make it easier. Most players find it addictive despite the challenge.
