How it feels

A fast-paced, retro arcade shooter with chaotic bullet hell action and roguelike perma-death that demands quick reflexes and persistence.

What players say

Players describe a nostalgic Contra-inspired shooter with jetpack movement and a generous single-life run. The game offers 20-plus weapons but some feel useless, and difficulty spikes sharply around stage 4. A common complaint is the absence of in-game volume control.
