What players say
Players call it a faithful throwback to 1990s helicopter arcade games like LHX and Desert Strike. The controls are a common hurdle, there is no tutorial and the default keyboard layout feels awkward, but it clicks with practice. The developer, a solo creator, is praised for being responsive.
