“Surprisingly really fun and addictive twin stick shooter. It gives me some Contra vibes but with a cute fantasy spooky theme. I love the arcade-style gameplay; if you like arcade-style top-down shooters, you will love it.”
“The typical survival-arena game with comfortable gameplay and cool graphics.”
“Very simple mechanics that are easy to learn but hard to master.”
“The gameplay, while fast, doesn't have much life to it.”
“Your primary attack sucks, the power-ups never feel like they do enough damage, gaining levels does nothing noticeable to the gameplay, and the sheer amount of crap on screen ensures that you will die many a cheap death.”
“Many people do not recommend this game because of repetitive gameplay.”
