How it feels
Feels like a frantic arcade shoot 'em up where you methodically upgrade your ship between intense, twitch-reflex combat sections.

What players say
Players compare it to Tyrian but say it has fewer stages and a grindy start where you replay the first level to earn cash. The pixel art and soundtrack are praised, though some find the difficulty spike near the middle and the short length disappointing. Players split on whether the RPG upgrades justify the repetition.
