How it feels

A breakneck, retro-inspired run-and-gun that feels like a frantic arcade fight for survival against relentless robot hordes.

What players say

Players describe this as a fast-paced Contra homage with creative bosses, but opinions are mixed on its design. Some praise it as one of the best in the sub-genre alongside Iron Meat, while others find the difficulty cheap, citing frustrating traps and frame pacing problems. The game is short and better played with a gamepad.
