How it feels

A fast-paced, vertical-scrolling shoot 'em up that feels like a modern take on classic arcade shooters, with intense action and a focus on chasing high scores.

What players say

Players describe a decent but grindy bullet hell shooter where dying sends you back to the first stage. Co-op requires a separate purchase, and premium upgrades are currently unavailable due to a connection error, making the endgame very difficult. Split opinions on whether the free content is worth the time.
