It's really repetitive with only three backgrounds for each of the three worlds and the same song playing throughout the whole game. The gameplay is certainly not the best either, with deaths feeling unfair and a lot of weapons being horrible and screwing you over. It's just a poorly made shoot 'em up side-scroller.”
