Way too aggressive visually. Very straining on the eyes to try and focus for even a short play session. Bullet patterns and level design are incredibly simplistic and repetitive. Same can be said for all of the bosses.

TL;DR: Get it if you like side scrolling shooters with bopping music. A small but mighty 2-D shooter. I had a fun time playing the eight mission campaign, which took a little over an hour to beat. I wouldn't say

This game makes me feel a little sad for the negative review I'm giving, but it must be done. So, let's start with the positives. The art and music is great in this game, the music pumps you up as you shoot your way

A criminally underrated and looked over 1-bit shoot 'em up. With a great artsyle, fun replayability, cool power ups and an awesome soundtrack as you're sent into the depths of Talios to eliminate various threats. Full

Fun little shmup. It's fairly simple as it's just shoot and collect powerups. There's no bomb and no score multipliers. Bosses are fun. Good patterns. If you enjoy shmups it's definitely worth checking out.
