What players say
Players are split on this desktop-overlay shooter. Many call out the developer for raising the base price to $29.99 to make big sale discounts look better, calling it shady or illegal. The gameplay itself draws complaints about unfair enemy spawning and buggy collision that can instantly kill you. A minority find it a fun casual time-killer on sale, but most say it fails even as a free game.
