How it feels

a chaotic retro arcade twin-stick shooter where you and a friend blast through simultaneous zombie, robot, demon, and alien invasions.

What players say

Players say this is a faithful old-school arcade twin-stick shooter that recalls Smash TV and Contra. It is fast, difficult and replayable, with fair bullet hell design that avoids feeling cheap. Couch co-op works but has quirks -- one player must wait to respawn and the game sometimes stops accepting input, requiring a restart.
