How it feels

A constant arcade-style shoot-em-up with bright pixel visuals and a crisp soundtrack where you blast through enemies and dodge bullets with invincible boosts.

What players say

Players love the handcrafted levels and fair bullet patterns, especially the restriction to horizontal shooting. The campaign is short, around one hour, but difficulty settings and a roguelike labyrinth mode add replayability. Local co-op is praised for its safe respawns. The only common complaint is the short length.
