About Intake
Intake is the new retro-futuristic drugstep arcade shooter from Cipher Prime. In this polychromatic love child of Dr. Mario and Ikaruga, you battle a never-ending barrage of pills, pushing your skill and reflexes to the limit to avoid a lethal dosage. Blast and combo your way through an epic cascade of audiovisual mayhem so intoxicating it comes with its own warning label.

not sure if it's worth $9.99, but it's a good time killer and, despite pretty simple gameplay, it'll take time to get good at it
Really good arcade light gun game with item upgrades. *Played using Sinden Lightgun (requires third part patch)
Creative and fun!
