How it feels

A relentless, old-school arcade shooter that demands quick reflexes and precision as you blast through waves of enemies in a neon-drenched futuristic setting.

What players say

Players like the space invaders foundation with roguelike upgrades, but split on the modes. Draft mode lets you become overpowered quickly, while no-draft mode is slow and boring. The diagonal shot upgrade dominates. A boss kill pause can leave your ship still and kill you.
