How it feels

A chaotic, old-school top-down shoot-'em-up where you blast through enemies in a hijacked combat vehicle with pixelated action and local co-op.

What players say

Players compare it to classic arcade shooters like Jackal, with praise for its retro pixel art and co-op action. But many find the controls frustrating: the machine gun fires only upward, there is no mouse aiming, and the game turns into a bullet hell at the first boss. It runs poorly on Steam Deck.
