How it feels

A fast-paced arcade shooter with cinematic presentation, evoking the feel of 90s shoot 'em ups.

What players say

Players praise the 3D visuals and unique boss designs, but many say the gameplay is hurt by unclear hitboxes and invisible walls. The upgrade system is enjoyable, though the UI is widely criticized for being tedious. The game has only five levels, and opinions split on whether the length is satisfying or too short.
