A rapid-fire shmup with a retro feel, focused on wave-based combat on a single screen.

What players say
Players praise the clever center-line twist where you jump, dash, and flip between shooting up and down. Many note bugs including a permanent Unity trial watermark and a hidden resolution config menu. The 36 stages feel solid but short for the '81 in the title, and some say it is slightly weaker than the first Horizon Shift.
