How it feels
A chaotic arcade shoot 'em up with a charming cat hero, where collecting stars and leveling up drives fast, frantic alien blasting.

What players say
Players describe this as a hybrid of a vertical shoot-em-up and Breakout, controlled by stretching a cat-headed ship with each stick. The unusual controls divide opinion, some find them clever, others frustrating in action. The game is short, around 30 minutes, but the final boss is a notorious difficulty spike.
