Public Opinion
Overall Rating: 7.0
  • 6Nice stylishly presented game. However, the learning curve is set WAY too high as controlling the ship is a nightmare initially. Enemies are pretty silly sometimes and the maps are quite boring. Still a fun little game.
  • 8Nice gameplay, though slightly spoiled by bad maps and dumb enemies. Definitely has quality. Liked the music and effects too.
