Has some solid mechanics and pack a strong punch with its 3 dificulty modes. Truly for all kinds of players, it has a lot of cool features like story mode, survival and challenge mode. Weapons are cool and fun to use, making the endgame all more rewarding if you plan your arsenal and upgrades right. For a solo developer game, it is really well made and nostalgicaly hits home. Worth it.

While the plot is nothing special, and the upgrade system doesn't do a good job of encouraging either variety or difficult optimization decisions, the game has some pretty cool levels. The snake boss in particular is a highlight.
