How it feels

A lighthearted, old-school run-and-gun arcade romp with cartoon violence and cooperative chaos.

What players say

Players call this a competent Contra clone with responsive controls and a retro 16-bit look, but note it is short with only six stages. Some find the gameplay too slow and frustrating, and there is no achievement support. It runs on the OpenBOR engine.
