How it feels
A fast-paced side-scrolling shooter where absorbing enemy bullets to power up your ship creates a satisfying risk-reward loop.

What players say
Players call DRAINUS a short and sweet shmup that is easy on normal difficulty, even beatable on the first try. The core mechanic of absorbing and reflecting enemy bullets is widely enjoyed. Opinions split on the soundtrack, and some find the power-up loss on death frustrating.
