How it feels

A fast-paced, retro-inspired horizontal shooter that feels like a classic arcade blast with tight controls and punishing but fair difficulty.

What players say

Players love the pixel art and music, but the PC port is a barebones emulator with no save states or online leaderboards. The one-hit kills punish mistakes harshly, and some struggle to see bullets against the busy backgrounds. A few call it a lost Genesis classic while others find the emulation unacceptable.
