A lightweight action game where you swap between two heroes mid-fight, playable solo or with friends on the couch.

What players say

Players praise it as a Contra-inspired retro shooter with co-op and character swapping, but the final level has bugs that force restarts and the UI has design flaws like small buttons and no mouse aiming.
