How it feels

A fast-paced arcade shooter where you zip through floating islands, jetpacking and blasting enemies in short, focused missions.

What players say

Players praise the fluid jetpack flight and colorful visuals but are split on the rest. Many complain about half-baked controls (especially on controller), unskippable childish dialogue, and a difficulty spike in the final level. The combat is seen as repetitive and the game short, though some appreciate it as an indie take on Dark Void.
