How it feels

A frantic, old-school shoot-'em-up where you blast through hordes of enemies and bosses with a friend, dying often but always coming back for one more run.

What players say

Players call it a faithful throwback to Gradius, with branching levels and pixel art that looks clean. Many complain about wall damage and a heavy reliance on level memorization, while others enjoy the weapon routing and fair challenge. Some report controller problems or the game running at the wrong speed, though fixes exist.
