Good, coloured shoot'em up, with animations similar to those in Zynaps, and nice music in the options screen. But rather hard.

You're walking and jetpacking horizontally through swarms of baddies and you're suddenly riding a spacecraft while a strange thing in the middle of the screen is erupting red nasties.

And stuff like that.

3,5/5

A really nice shoot-em-up with some more variety than the average game of this kind, since you fight both on foot - à la Exolon - and with your craft, in a way not too distant from R-Type.

Graphics are pretty to look at, and add a touch of class to an already neat game.

It's another alien-basher at its core - but a worthy one.

Starts off with a great tune, filled with drumming and synthesized instruments never before heard in a Spectrum game. But once you press the start key what shows up is a replica of other games such as Exolon or Zynaps merged into one, but with worse graphics, worse game play and overall sound. It's not by any means a bad game, but not particularly astonishing either. If only the collision detection was a bit better I would certainly give it a higher score.
