How it feels

A blistering, unrelenting side-scroller that demands precision and quick reflexes as you blast through a gauntlet of tough bosses.

What players say

Players describe it as a pure boss rush with 25 stages, no regular levels. It is brutally difficult with only one life, and players note the huge gap between watching skilled runs and playing themselves. Some call it Treasure's best run 'n' gun on the Mega Drive, while others say it is good but not their top pick.
