[h1] Top down shooter with main focus put on lots of explosions. Everything explodes including your pants. You must find a way to open force field in order to complete the level. Controls are basic with a few weapons that you can equip. Shooting is ok for the most part and you get more points for consecutive kills. For controller support check gamepad in the options. Different enemies like sentry guns, tanks, mechs and some boss waiting on each stage. Music is good with a bit of oomph and you gonna hear explosions most of the time. Visuals are not the worst, game have some details but nothing too fancy. Overall nothing amazing but plays ok. [/h1]

It's okayish, worth about 5 bucks. Old-school twin stick shooter with frantic fights, dizzy making visuals, and chaotic map design.

Fun shmup. I think I'm going to have Taco Bell for dinner.

https://youtu.be/nf97ziQbjeI Twin stick shooting, sorta, with wide open and empty levels occasionally featuring with randomly spawning enemies.

An underrated top-down view shooter. In 2011, games like this weren't very popular. But as they say it has digital immortality and has become part of Steam
