How it feels

A fast, arcadey twin-stick shooter with a whimsical retro pixel-art style and lighthearted 1880s sci-fi adventure feel.

What players say

Players praise the authentic ZX Spectrum aesthetic and clever level design, but the short 3-hour campaign and punishing difficulty divide opinion. It's a faithful retro homage that some find too hard to enjoy.
