    It seems mostly tuned for players who might be interested in a bright, colorful shooter but don’t have the patience to deal with the punishment some of the classics dish out. Either way, its low price makes it easy to bite on. I found Rangerdog to be an easy game to like, and even if it’s not as challenging or risque as Parodius can be, it certainly scratched a similar itch.

    A cute, paranoid and short horizontal shoot 'em up with heavy Gradius influences that offers a solid retro experience, but brings nothing new to the genre.
