How it feels
a chaotic, fast-paced boomer shooter with a satirical and cartoonish sense of humor.

What players say
A fast-paced retro shooter on the GZDoom engine with a focus on airborne combat using rocket-jumping and gliding. Players praise the responsive controls and weapon variety but are split on level design, calling it inconsistent with some memorable set-pieces. The tone is comedic and over-the-top, though a few find the art direction unappealing, and the game is considered short for the price.
