How it feels

A frantic arcade shooter where dodging streams of bullets while upgrading your ship creates a tense, score-chasing loop.

What players say

Players describe it as a hard twin-stick shmup with retro pixel graphics. An overheating mechanic forces you to stop firing, which some find disruptive. The soundtrack gets regular praise. There is no multiplayer or 21:9 support, and a few reviewers call the controls floaty.
