✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's solid roguelike shoot-em-up mechanics, impressive pixel art, smooth controls, varied weapons, and challenging bosses, with most finding it engaging and fun. However, critics point to significant issues including repetitive enemy design, music, and stage layouts with little variety, lack of narrative or clear purpose, and an overall sense of incompleteness that reduces replay value and engagement.

Very good rogue lite Shoot Em Up and far more impressive than i thought originally. Awesome graphics and beautiful pixel art work. Lots of enemies and cool hard bosses. Plenty of various different weapons to blast the hell out of your enemy foes. 4 Different space-ship characters to choose from. Great smooth controls (XBOX Controller) and nice catchy music. Only one problem so far on the title screen the language is not in English i think its in Russian when choosing your options (Start Game, Config etc), i am sure it can be resolved and a select different language & region option. Overall Excellent game and i highly recommend it. Amazing work guys, Both Thumbs UP!!! SHOOT EM UPS 4 LIFE!!!

To begin, as i opened the game... i got a couple of achievements that i didn't do for some reason! okay where do i start... -The game is highly repetitive. Enemies, music & stages. Everything feels like it's the same. no variety whatsoever. -No story or purpose is explained... which lead nothing to go back to it. I played less than 30 minutes and ...it was enough to say...i'm not playing this again. -This title feels unfinished... So yeah...with that said... i don't recommend this game. It is pretty bad sadly...

Cute graphics but very bad keyboard controls. It's a bad copy of Steredenn, play that instead.
