How it feels

A fast-paced 2D shooter with intense bullet hell action, retro pixel graphics, and a challenging old-school feel.

What players say

Players are largely nostalgic for the childhood freeware original, and while many enjoy the remaster, some find the new version easier due to bomb changes and an endless loop after level 18, with another calling it impossibly hard. Reviews split on the new soundtrack and gameplay changes, with several saying the old version has more charm.
