music4 positive mentions

Nostalgic old school 90s style shooter with a modern twist and great compatibility with arcade sticks and portable devices.
Charming aesthetic featuring cats, catchy music, and fun weapon upgrades that create an engaging and addictive gameplay experience.
Multiple game modes and levels offer enjoyable challenges, with a good balance for casual players and shmup veterans.

Collision detection and hitboxes are problematic, causing unclear damage sources and frustrating moments in later levels.
Screen can become overly chaotic with too many enemies and effects, leading to a cluttered experience and difficulty navigating.
Sound design tends to be overwhelming due to excessive weapon sounds combined with lack of certain audio cues, which can strain players.
