Rather nice shoot em up. But not gonna lie, my initial reception of the game was far less positive. The problem is - the game tells you nothing. Literally nothing. Not just how to 'git gud', but how to play at all. Barrels, perks, companions - how to get, how to use, what are they doing - nothing. That's why, initially the game seemed very restrictive and too demanding, and overall experience was rather frustrating. However, after reading forum, guides and even dev's comments, I discovered many ways how to improve my gameplay. While it's still rather challenging, it also become very fun to play. I'm sure that I still don't know everything, but even those tiny pieces of info I got, managed to change my experience drastically. If before I could barely last 30-40 seconds, now I can freely fly around, blowing stuff to pieces and getting insane score. Now I can easily recommend it as an entertainment for few evenings.

Pretty similar to Luftrausers in a lot of ways, a bit simpler here, a bit more fun there. You fly around and shoot whimsical flying machines and do some exploring/puzzles/combat to unlock pages for the story. A fun way to kill some time.
