How it feels

Playing this game feels like sitting side by side with a friend, blasting through waves of enemies in a classic arcade shooter that demands teamwork and quick reflexes.

What players say

Players praise the retro music, pixel art, and variety of ships with unique weapons and bomb moves. The game is satisfying but marred by sharp difficulty spikes, unbalanced levels, and an unplayable unfinished adventure mode. Keyboard controls cannot be remapped and feel awkward. Reviews from 2021 and 2023 note development appears to have stopped without delivering the promised adventure mode.
