A fast-paced retro arcade shooter where precision and risk-reward mechanics drive a tense score attack.

What players say

Players say this is one of the hardest Psikyo shmups, with a punishing difficulty curve even on the lowest setting. The standout feature is a brief weakpoint on bosses that can instantly kill them up close, called a technical bonus. Some note missing features like a stage select and gallery, and the initial release lacks a quit button.
