What players say
Players praise the surprisingly deep scoring system built around absorbing enemy scrap to power attacks, comparing its complexity to Ikaruga. The game is short but offers unlimited continues for casual play, while score chasers can use challenge mode. Reviews note the charming retro visuals and bizarre story, though some find the normal difficulty punishing with tight resource management.
