How it feels
A relentless arcade bullet hell where you mow down enemies with rotor blades and overdrive invincibility in fast, chaotic combat.

What players say
Players describe frantic twin-stick shooter action where the helicopter's rotor blades are the main weapon, smashing into enemies at close range. Levels split into three missions, one mandatory and two optional, with increasing difficulty. Opinion divides on depth: some find it shallow and simplistic while others praise its lean, no-frills design. Control responsiveness gets occasional criticism.
