A fast and colorful VR arcade shooter where you pilot a hovercycle, dodging attacks and firing at targets in a retro-futuristic style.

What players say

Players call this a tough arcade shooter that blends shmup and light-gun action, often comparing it to Star Fox, Panzer Dragoon, and Time Crisis. The game is notoriously hard, with a low first-boss completion rate, but rewards practice and offers cheats to see the ending.
