How it feels

You blast through colorful sidescrolling levels with a rocket pack, switching weapons on the fly while exploring a simple non-linear map.

What players say

Players praise the fun retro run-and-gun gameplay but criticize clunky controls, bad music, and a punishing weapon break system that forces grinding. The game is short and the English translation is incomplete, with some finding the save point placement frustrating.
