How it feels

A fast-paced, minimalist arcade shooter that feels like a nostalgic retro game brought to life in VR with simple controls and a focus on survival and high scores.

What players say

Players praise the nostalgic arcade feel and fun pick-up-and-play action, but note that development stopped while the game remained in early access. Some report the soundtrack was removed due to copyright issues, and Oculus headsets beyond the Rift have compatibility problems. Reviews split on the grind: unlocking and upgrading weapons takes a long time, which some find tiresome.
