How it feels

A quick, frantic twin-stick shootout where you blast through swarms with custom guns and hero abilities, each run ending in a flurry of bullets and upgrades.

What players say

Players enjoy the addictive short rounds and pumped-up music, but many complain about frustrating enemy collision damage and say the game does not let you feel powerful until much later. Some recommend turning the difficulty up to 20 for the full experience.
