How it feels

A frantic, retro-inspired bullet hell where you and up to three friends dodge dense patterns and blast enemies in tight cooperative runs.

What players say

Players praise the steampunk pixel art, precise controls, and 4-player co-op, but many warn the original 2011 version has crashed on all their PCs since Jamestown+ released and remains unfixed. The short campaign locks later levels behind replays on higher difficulties, and the final stage frustrates with bullet hell. Completionists report needing 9/10 difficulty for 100%.
