How it feels
A fast-paced horizontal shoot 'em up with retro MSX visuals and a refreshingly fair, quarter-free arcade challenge.

What players say
Players praise the free MSX-style shmup for its great soundtrack and flexible weapon system, but they are split on difficulty, many find it brutally hard, even compared to old shooters, while a few say it is too easy. Options like toggleable checkpoints and adjustable lives are appreciated.
