Horizontal space shooter. Tight controls. Arcade style gameplay, part reflex, part memorizer. Various ship and weapon loadouts. Great presentation and audio. Very challenging. It's Gradius incarnate!

I got the 1cc on casual, and have the highest score on normal, but I think I’m done, it’s like eating glass. I want to like this and it’s so close to being correct, but everything in this game is over shadowed by one aspect. And I feel dirty saying this, it’s too hard. Yes it can be beaten, and if I did it one more time I’d prove that. But you have four people that beat the score attack mode, four. Who’s attacking score with four people on the board? Your first level is so hard that I took 5th and I didn’t even kill the boss. Say what you want about my skill level. There’s no reason to make it this brutal, leave in the “hardest” mode, but there’s no way this is helping your sales. And if anyone wants to know why it’s so brutally unfair it’s because: 1. You’re too weak. 2. You’re too slow 3. You can’t use the whole screen 4. Checkpoints are laughably dumb 5. If you didn’t have the one second shield you get off of items, you’d be dead 6. If you didn’t get the special weapon for the boss, you’re dead 7. How does “always has access to powerful counter measures” mean “graze bullets for weak missiles”? 8. There’s no English tutorial There’s almost a fun game in here, and…3 found this helpful
