How it feels

A frantic vertical shoot-'em-up where you constantly dodge bullets, upgrade weapons, and blast through short mission segments in a linear, score-driven arcade run.

What players say

Players praise the drift mechanic that lets ships auto-target while dodging in any direction. The difficulty is high but can be tuned with options like extra lives. Some wish for a story mode and better controller support.
