How it feels

A short, fast-paced arcade romp through hand-drawn comic-book space, with cartoony aliens and a quick run-and-gun feel.

What players say

Players compare this to Flappy Bird with extra mechanics like lasers, shields, and a dash. The comic book art style and responsive controls are praised, though some find the upgrades too weak to change gameplay. Reviews mention short levels with a satisfying difficulty curve and a speedrun mode after beating the game.
