Short but sweet is how I'd describe this game. This is mobile port, so there isn't much depth or length to be found here. It feels a lot like those gun games you would find in an arcade like Time Crisis. The story is very bare bones, but the pro voice acting was a nice touch. Please don't buy this for the story. The gunplay is the main draw to this game and I think they nailed it. The game goes beyond simply point-and-shoot by giving you access to special abilities called 'arcs'.The slinging mechanic feels really great and intuitive for activating your special abilities. With a flick of your wrist in a particular direction lets you activate one of three special abilities you can have equipped at any one time. (Slow time is OP!). The gunplay is nicely polished.

Short, sweet, and fun arcade VR shooter, with some replay value in collecting powers at the end of each run. The only issues I have is no subtitles and sometimes enemies either shoot you from behind a wall or get stuck in an unshootable area. There also isn't a tutorial about switching powers and the menu doesn't give you the ability to quit the game manually. Overall just a fun and short experience.
Good quality, but only 40 minutes long! Too expensive for a prologue-game.
A slick wave shooter with high production values and a cartoony, kid-friendly vibe.
