How it feels

A fast-paced, retro-style shoot 'em up with modern visuals and a punishing difficulty curve, where you constantly upgrade your ship while blasting through waves of enemies.

What players say

Players describe it as a retro-style horizontal shooter reminiscent of Gradius and Star Gunner, but many criticize floaty controls and the lack of enemy bullet patterns. Reviews split on difficulty: some find it manageable with upgrades while others report unfair spikes, bugs, and save-breaking issues that prevent completion.
