How it feels
A fast-paced retro arcade shooter with a synthwave soundtrack, demanding precision and replayability through permadeath and score chasing.

What players say
Players call it a straightforward homage to Star Fox with flat-shaded retro visuals. It has three looping stages, unlockable mini-games, and very little story. Most recommend a controller, as mouse controls have a slow turn at screen edges. Some find the content too sparse and the accelerate/brake mechanic confusing.
