    This game is beautiful and the sound design is really good. The art, from the background to the characters is phenomenal.
    But I'm not having ANY fun playing it. The game is insanely cheap. Level starts, people talk, train in your face insta-death. What?! WHY?! Because F U that's why!
    There is close to no skill in most levels, with insta-death boss rays and insta-death floors. Insta-death

    There is close to no skill in most levels, with insta-death boss rays and insta-death floors. Insta-death ceilings too.
    Go play Jamestown. It is a Shmup, and though it may not be as stunningly pretty, it doesn't feel as cheap.

    A sublimely clever, well-designed, borderline impossible shooter. It will utterly consume you if you let it. [June 2012, p.71]

    Grasshopper Manufacture prove once again they are the cream of the crop in making the extraordinary visuals. Only this time they add fantastic gameplay, which means this game is a masterpiece that is going to absorb you completely.
