The WhatsNext verdict

For Shmup fans who want a short, sharp arcade run with a 1991 shooter's mix of firepower and defense.: Each run tests aim, timing, and reading enemy fire, and the Flint life form gives you a second way to attack and defend. Tradeoff: Dense enemy fire and costly mistakes leave little room for relaxed play.
