    Gorgeous and unique style and artistic theme. However apart from that the game fails to deliver. Bad and clunky controls, mediocre and boring sound design, explosions are especially weird. The "maps" gets repetitive very fast and the enemies aren't that interesting. Not even the power ups or upgrades tempts me to get me going. Was bored within 15-30 minutes, and I really wanted to like this game.

    It's a technical disaster that fails to deliver any of the arcade bliss typically found in shoot 'em ups thanks to weak action, wimpy explosions and whacked controls. Leave this one in the digital bargain bin.

    A bizarre shooter with an original and beautiful artistic direction but not much meat under it.

    The game is more than worth its equally miniscule 4 quid asking price. [Feb 2015, p.79]
