This is an overhead arcade shooter that is much more fun with 2 players. With two players, it basically becomes impossible to die as you fill the screen with bullets. Even with single player mode, on the default difficulty, it is not difficult to get the the later stages. The graphics are fairly generic, and would suit a mid-80s shooter. There is not much here that would excite shooter fans, and they would be much more happy with a game like Axelay.
