How it feels

A relentless arcade shoot 'em up where reflexes are tested through fast combat and the constant threat of restarting from scratch.

What players say

Players call it a solid retro-style horizontal shooter with a good upgrade system and mostly fair difficulty, though the three-life permadeath and unexplained bonus missions can frustrate. Most praise the pixel art and music, while a few find the visuals bland and the controls clunky.
