    A unique addition to any twin-stick shooter fan's library, the art style is gorgeous and there's a surprising amount of variety involved. There seems to be a constant 30 FPS lock (since there's no v-sync options in game, only resolution change) and while that's not great, it doesn't seem like a dealbreaker for once, simply due to what this game is. Seems a bit low on reviews overall so I wanted to do my part but…

    If this game looks at all interesting to you, give it a try. If you enjoy twin-stick shooters and/or classic arcade games definitely give it a try. Even in Early Access they have totally crushed this unique style to deliver a one-of-a-kind inspired game (cripes, that really sounds douche-y, but it's the truth, so whatever).

    A unique game, but I feel it would be more enjoyable in co-op. Single player wise, balancing is all over the place. Some levels are super easy, others are downright unfair and cheap.
