Gameplay
"Masterful"
Moving by shooting is a brilliant gameplay idea executed with perfect precision: every shot propels you to the pixel, turning movement into a demanding ballet. The short loop and snap make it a model of arcade action.
Fun
"From the very first seconds"
Propelling yourself with gunfire is instantly exhilarating: within the first screens, simply moving becomes a game in itself, delicious and twitchy. The short loop, the speed and the scoring make you want to restart endlessly, the fun springing from pure motion long before mastery.
The bosses push the gun-propulsion mechanic to its limits: vertical arenas, projectiles to dodge and tiny firing windows demand a constant acrobatic ballet. Fast and merciless, they're built for scoring and repetition.
An underrated gem
Beneath its absurd concept hides a gem of action-platforming, cut out for scoring and speed. Little publicized, it wins you over with the purity of its idea and the precision of its execution, offering intense fun for a trivial sum.
