What players say

Players praise the shield mechanics for bouncing on spikes and reflecting bullets, but many find the game too short at about 1 to 3 hours. Some feel the S ranks are too easy and miss leaderboards. A few mention unchangeable controller layout as a problem. Difficulty is adjustable, and opinions on challenge vary.
