How it feels

A frantic, retro arcade shooter that demands quick reflexes and precision as you blast aliens and navigate tight corridors for high scores.

What players say

Players praise it as a faithful recreation of early 80s arcade hits, mixing Defender's rescue and laser weapons with Joust's arena and enemies. It requires long sessions for high scores since there is no save function, but works well for quick pickup play.
