How it feels

A quick-hit arcade shooter where you tear through endless enemy waves with boosting and weapon switching, focused entirely on racking up a high score.

What players say

Players describe it as a very simple, cheap game that feels older than 2017. It has only 2 planes and 2 missions, which some find repetitive, though the loop can be engaging. Controller support works well for most.
