How it feels

A fast-paced, arcade-style game where you control the villain and fend off heroes in pixelated, retro-inspired battles.

What players say

Players mostly enjoy the premise of being the boss, but agree the game is very short and repetitive, often beating everything in about two hours. Many say it is not worth the full price and recommend waiting for a sale, though some find it an addictive time killer. There is disagreement on depth: some praise the diverse bosses and upgrade system, while others call it pure button mashing.
