What players love

What players love

Fans of Geometry Wars and Super Stardust say this twin-stick shooter on a rotating planet nails the arcade feel and modernizes it: a run-based mode with inventive upgrades that change the strategy, plus a city to fortify that helps rather than distracts. Reviewers call it hard at first, satisfying once the screen fills with bullets, and the kind of game that quietly eats their hours.
