What players say

Players praise the unique pressure of a three-minute stage timer and a mothership that takes damage from escaped enemies, forcing constant aggression. Many first encountered it as a 2003 demo and finally seeing it on Steam is a long-time wish fulfilled. The game is consistently described as very hard and short, and a few report crashing on stage 3 or find the visuals dated and generic.
