How it feels
A fast, arcade-style shooter that feels like a cartoonish, over-the-top space romp with silly characters and explosive boss fights.

What players say
Players call it a loving homage to 16-bit shooters like Gunstar Heroes and Ristar, with a lot of personality and humor in its writing and voice acting. It's short, around 2–5 hours, and has a significant difficulty spike on the final stage. Opinions split on the dialogue: some find it hilarious, others say there is too much. Controls cannot be remapped, which frustrates some players.
