A blisteringly intense retro arcade shooter that demands sharp reflexes and strategic weapon use against a relentless alien onslaught.

What players say
Players praise the unique weapon-direction mechanic and the port's quality-of-life features like rewind and autofire. The game is short, around 30 minutes, and many find it challenging to the point of unfairness. Some note minor audio emulation issues and one reviewer says PC controls are messy.
