What players say

Players praise the harpoon mechanic for both scoring and survival, and enjoy dismantling bosses piece by piece. The game is compared to Namco's Ordyne and other classic shooters, with a cute-em-up style and multiple modes. Some find stages a bit long, but it is considered a solid, slept-on title.
