How it feels

A fast-paced vertical shoot 'em up with handcrafted pixel art, explosive arcade action, and a retro arcade feel.

What players say

Players are split on this pixel-art shooter. Some find it fun and addictive, others call it an underwhelming euro-shmup with a grindy upgrade shop, repetitive enemies, and no checkpoints, a single death can send you back to the start.
