If you like scrolling shoot-em-ups or like this game from the arcade go for it!
This game is all about precision shooting and is therefore pretty hard unless you've got thumbs of steel (that don't get tired either!)People who are good at this sort of game will have the time of their lives because it is stunning when watching a pro play this game. The game uses stunning vivid colours and makes the (older) player nostalgic about other top-down scrolling shoot-em-ups they've played in the past.
Luckily, there's a 2 player mode for people like me who need some help - esoeciallu during the very intense boss battles!
Enemies are either dark or light and players get rewarded by creating chains of the same colour.
It's an extremely hardcore game that was too tough for me but for some it will be a fantastic experience
