Reception

Malc of Shmups rated the game ten out of ten, calling it his favourite shoot 'em up. He praised the gameplay for "sheer playability" while stating the graphics are "quite average and functional" and the music has an "arcadey melody over a heavy techno drum beat" that sounds strange yet pleasing at the same time.^[1]
