A great fun game with a real old school look and feel, with a really nice sound track. Perfect for playing in short bursts, so great for when your on the bus, taking a break or just have a few minutes to kill. For the price, you can't go wrong.

A nice flying shooty game with a retro feel, very easy to get absorbed by. Feels easy to play despite it being clearly being a challenge for my aging brain - my 5 year old is very disappointed by my performance and is puzzled as to how I keep forgetting that I'm not supposed to crash :p

Fun game when played with a controller. Good Steam Deck game.

(For short summary review, check the last paragraph) I'm a big fan of On-Rails Shooters, and this one caught my eye. For it's price definitely gave it a shot, and I genuinely had a great time. I mostly found it much easier and better to play with a controller, in my opinion. Mostly all these hours were put into the Regular Novice Mode, attempting to get as far as I can. But all the other mini-games helped change up the game. As you play, going further into it and playing harder modes, you unlock more mini-games which really feels good to earn as you play. The Main Menu also changes to visually as you play along, which is amazingly satisfying to me. With most On-Rails shooters, the goal is to kill all enemies on screen. With this one, it changes it up, with the lazers slowly accumulating your fire-rate. If you cease firing long enough it'll be charged up and fire rapidly, helping on defeating enemies much faster than your standard fire-rate. There are charge pickups that increase fir...

To be honest, the game is too simple and I don't mean difficulty wise. It has very little content (3 stages that loop and a few very rudimentary "mini-games" that you only unlock by playing the looping main game over and over), it is basically only fly and shoot and the accelerating/breaking doesn't really do what it is supposed to. You don't get faster/slower, the ship only goes further away from your camera or even into the camera so you don't see it anymore. I don't want to be rude because I really like those kinds of games but you are way better off playing others, like Ex-Zodiac for example.
