How it feels

A fast, explosive arcade shoot-em-up with a grungy hand-drawn aesthetic and a slick power-up system.

What players say

Players say it is a short, accessible horizontal shmup that takes about an hour to finish. The vector-style graphics and retro soundtrack get consistent praise. Some note bullet visibility issues and a few find the gamefeel lacking, but most recommend it as a good on-ramp for shmup newcomers.
