How it feels

A fast, punishing arcade shooter where you dodge dense bullet patterns and blast enemies with a thruster boost attack.

What players say

Players praise the addictive arcade loop and snappy controls, particularly the original mechanic of using your ship's thruster to attack enemies and collecting stardust to drop a bomb. The difficulty is high, but most find it rewarding, though one player says late waves with shielded enemies can feel tedious.
