What players say
i got this game a while ago for literally a quarter, 25 cents. its a fun arcade style game with a good few hours of content, worth the full price of $3, let alone 25 cents

Really fun and enjoyable. It's simple, smooth, and entertaining, with great gameplay and good vibes all around. Addictive and satisfying, I keep coming back for more. Overall, a solid game that's fun, relaxing, and has just the right amount of challenge.
Got this game cheap from a badge coupon, thinking it's one of those mid/bad games. I was positively surprised at how fun it is. It's easy to play but hard to master. At first, I found some of the weapons annoying, but after a while, I discovered that each has its unique playstyle and is fun overall.
