Great and slick game by a small development team (2 guys). They come from the Amiga community, and still support that platform, which is an added bonus. The graphics is crisp, and the soundtracks are just awesome. With regards to gameplay; its your standard shoot-em up, but well made. This style of game has been my favorite since the C64 and Amiga days. Added bonus is that they plan to remake an Amiga version. Highly recommended!

Scroll-shooters that remove your weapon when you lose a life should not exist. It's compounding a punishment when there is absolutely no need for it. Also, I don't like the tactile feel of this game. Hitting enemies with weapons is unsatisfying, as there are often no hit markers and even the basic enemies require multiple hits. Because of this, the game feels sluggish, even though the ship moves quite fast. Visuals are pretty OK, but overal I just dislike too much about this game and can't recommend it to anyone. Get Xenoraid or Saviours instead, if you haven played then yet - they are much, much better.
power up is soooo freaking TOO LOOOOW DROP.. and when you died boop gone that is why you hard to kill any one, you just have to wait for them to leave hahahahaha pity.
That's 37 minutes of my life wasted on miserably long stages and perpetually weak firepower. I'll never get that time back.
Great game for a low price. It is not sky force, but it has all what a shmup need. Much popcorn, powerups small and big bosses. It makes really fun, the graphics a "retro" cool! I have some flickering and stutter with mouse, but with xbox controller it is really good controlable. I like to have it in my shmup collection. Good Job!
Probably the most dull, boring and tedious 2D shooter I have ever played in my entire life (and I own around 150 of 'em). So bad, I removed this game from my library.
Fun and cute little space shooter. Recommended! 👍
Nice bit of retro blasting, but I struggled with the mouse being extremely laggy (game-end, not mine). Keyboard controls also not as responsive as it could/should be. Also, the options are limited and I was unable to run in anything other than a forced window mode. I have a decent PC/Gfx Card/32G RAM, so should be MORE than sufficient! lol Hopefully an updaste might sort these issues?
crashes frequently on win7. Its impossible to change sound setting (cant stand the music) or one of the other 2 available settings even level-change wont work, can only play first level and why is the UI partially German?
This is a great shoot em up game with good music and visuals. The game has also been developed for the new Amiga OS4 powered machines see below link for more info on this. If you like frantic shooting and dodging bullets then you will enjoy this game very much... http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1155
