What players say

Players praise the game's old-school arcade difficulty and fairness, but opinions split on its design choices. The lack of auto-fire and a limited energy bar for shooting are frequently mentioned, with some finding it strategic and others frustrating. It is short, with only three stages, and offers local co-op.
