How it feels

Playing feels like a fast-paced, rhythmic arcade shoot-'em-up where you rewind and un-fire attacks to orchestrate chaos in reverse.

What players say

Players love the clever premise of playing a shoot-em-up backwards, catching your own bullets to the beat. The two-lane controls are simple but the timing is demanding, and on higher difficulties the screen gets too cluttered to follow. The electronic soundtrack is praised, and some note that the developer never made another rhythm game.
