What players say
Players are split on this free shoot-em-up. Some enjoy it as a quick 15-minute arcade break, while others criticize the limited mouse support, awkward powerup swapping, and random performance stuttering that can kill runs. The game was delisted in 2025, and several reviews mention grabbing it before it disappears.
