What players say

Players describe it as a short, tough twin-stick shooter with bullet-hell elements and one-shot deaths. Some compare it favorably to Hero Core, though one review calls it a poor imitation. Players disagree on difficulty: some find it manageable and finish in 90 minutes, others say it is punishing with unfair lasers and checkpoint spacing.
