How it feels
A frantic 80s arcade shoot 'em up where you dodge waves of aliens and blast through levels with retro pixel graphics and chiptune music.

What players say
Players are split on this free arcade shooter. Some call it a competent tribute to 80s games, but most say it is shallow, repetitive, and one of many achievement filler titles. Several warn that the harsh color palette causes eye strain, and a save wipe bug can erase progress.
