How it feels

a frantic space dash where you dodge obstacles, grab power-ups, and race against the leaderboard at warp speed.

What players say

Players warn that the game is broken on modern PCs because its physics are tied to framerate. Those who can run it find a minimal arcade shooter where you just ride and watch your score go up, with no story or depth. Opinion is split on whether it is enjoyably simple or just boring.
