How it feels
A frantic old-school arcade shooter where you dodge bullets and blast through waves of enemies in relentless side-scrolling combat.

What players say
Players love this as a faithful, procedurally generated take on the classic arcade shooter Rolling Thunder. It is described as brutally difficult and addictive, with two lanes and a super jump for evasion, and enemies that grow tougher through behavior changes rather than gimmicks. The free demo is widely appreciated, and many wish it were on an actual arcade cabinet.
