How it feels
A chaotic, frenetic arcade shooter that overwhelms the senses with psychedelic visuals and a dark, conspiracy-tinged atmosphere.

What players say
Players praise the visuals and music as a modern update on classic arcade games, and light gun support works smoothly for several models. Difficulty is a major point: multiple players say the bullet volume makes it punishingly hard, with many unable to get past stage 3 or 4. Some note the main laser sound feels weak.
