This is a game that could have been great. The concept, visuals and even music are all there. But there are problems with this game that kept it from ever becoming big. There is an enemy type that constantly warps out of the way of your bullets, I only ever died to them. They just quickly run up to you and warp side to side as you try to shoot them. There are very few viable guns. Most of the guns can never hit that side warping enemy, so you are limited to the two that can. One of those two has such short range, everything else will get to you. There is a space between your character and the end of the gun, if items you need to shoot are there, you can move around and fix that. But if aliens get in that space, you can't do anything about it and die. These are small annoyances, but they are constant and suck the fun out of the game. Then add in that the games multiplayer is fully broken now. It was made for multiplayer and going solo just isn't worth it. Had fun with this in the past, but I can't really recommend this now.

A very basic twin-stick shooter. It feels more like someone's first game project than a proper commercial release.
