How it feels

You blast through hordes of robots in a fast-paced side-scrolling shooter, exploring a derelict ship while a sci-fi mystery unfolds.

What players say

Players are split on this 2013 platformer. Some enjoy the retro feel and bright graphics, but many others report game-breaking bugs (getting stuck in vents), unresponsive controls, and combat that feels tedious rather than exciting. Difficulty is high, and the game is often described as just okay or forgettable.
