How it feels

A frantic 2D shoot-'em-up where you dodge obstacles and blast enemies while collecting power-ups to survive increasingly tough boss battles.

What players say

Players say it is a free, simple shoot-'em-up with very short levels. Some note levels can be skipped by not killing enemies, and only boss fights force engagement. Reviews split between calling it fun and dismissing it as low-effort and repetitive.
