How it feels

Fast-paced twin-stick shooting with colorful cartoon visuals and a steady loop of upgrading your ship through procedural mazes.

What players say

Players praise the smooth controls and co-op, but consistently say the game lacks depth. The randomly generated mazes get longer each level, and while weapon upgrades and sound puzzles add variety, reviewers wish for more goals, bosses, or progression.
