Very nice small arcade game. Really challenging, the art looks fantastic in motions, and it's got some nice music too

This is a nice little retro linear shmup. Once you beat the first boss, it has an Infinite mode, which I found to be quite satisfying. The game works on my Steam Deck after choosing a workable controller scheme in the Deck UI and on the PC, though it is easier to play with a mouse on the PC, which is its intended user interface anyway. I got it at quite a discount on Fanatical in a bundle, so I'm happy with the value for the money spent.

The neon grid aesthetic screams arcade tron but the gameplay is just repetitive shooting and movement that never evolves past the first five minutes.
