How it feels
A fast-paced, arcade-style side-scrolling shooter with retro pixel graphics and a focus on dodging hazards and collecting power-ups.

What players say
Players call this a faithful 80s-style horizontal shmup that channels Gradius and Thunder Cross, with tight controls and a strong soundtrack. The difficulty is a sticking point, even easy mode feels excessive to some, and the return revival system can punish. A few note that key mechanics are not explained in-game, requiring the manual or practice mode to enjoy.
