How it feels

A frantic, high-speed shoot 'em up where you dodge relentless enemy fire while collecting upgrades to survive increasingly chaotic battles.

What players say

Players report a very short shmup that demands memorization and repetition, with only three lives, no continues, and no checkpoints, one mistake sends you back to the opening level. Sentiment is split: some enjoy the arcade challenge, while many more list missing settings like resolution and sound options, a small hitbox, and bullets that blend into the background.
