Sublime caravan-style score chaser with lots of modes and banging chiptunes. Short runs and fast gameplay. Highly addictive. It's a blast!

About This Game
Features
- Six game modes:
- Normal - Face an onslaught of enemies with just one life, but surrender before it's too late to escape and keep the bonus score.
- Novice - Like normal, but when you want an easier time (to begin with).
- Timed - 3 minutes, infinite lives and bombs, to score as much as you can. The multiplier resets when you bomb, how long can you hold off?
- Classic - 3 lives, 3 bombs, no surrender.
- Expert - One life, but the enemies are harder. If you don't surrender you don't score.
- Pacifist - No shooting allowed, score more for staying alive as long as possible. Enemies and bullets are grazeable to increase the mutliplier.
- Normal - Face an onslaught of enemies with just one life, but surrender before it's too late to escape and keep the bonus score.
- Lots of enemies to kill.
- Plenty of bullets, and lasers, to dodge.
- A slow motion system that can kick in when the danger is too close, making the player temporarily invincible.
- Hidden methods to spawn more medals to collect...
- A dedicated button to giving up (well in four of the modes).
- Tate support.
- Customisable UI.
- Leaderboards & achievements.

I am having fun with my computer.
good game!
An awesome score chaser shmup, where your reflexes and slowdown energy management are put to the test. Remember to surrender! (8.5/10)
Fast, frenetic fun! Easy to get into, very very well balanced achievements that encourage a range of styles. Just a great experience!
Fast & frenetic action with a style reminiscent of the much-missed franchise Geometry Wars. Costs very little, packed full of action and challenge. Solid shmup!
Don't let the simple graphics fool you - this game is not simple. There's quite a bit of intricacies in the scoring/mechanics.
Very addictive scoring shmup/stg! Feels very pure in terms of gameplay - dodge, shoot repeat against an ever-increasing barrage of enemies and bullets. Very easy to fall into a shmup trance and wake up three hours later having finally bested your top score. Gameplay is super responsive, customisable control layout, Tate mode, Tournament mode seed system(wow!), customisable OST (which works so well with the game) and online leaderboards to compete on. What more can you ask for!?!
Great little shmup. Brilliant music, snappy controls, love the risk/reward mechanic. Great on the Deck. Highly compelling!
Very fun and challenging
