What players say

A simple retro shooter that fans of Tiger Heli will recognize. Players note there are no bombs, only two weapon types, and the same music track loops through every stage. Several reviews warn that dying mid-level makes the game nearly impossible because you respawn with weak weapons. Opinions split on whether the price is fair for its short content and repetitive level design.
