Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.

Overwhelmingly Positive2019

US Steam price, checked 6 h ago

The verdict

A stylish 2D slow-motion shooter with great music and satisfying acrobatic gunplay, but short, and its second half swaps combat for platforming and puzzles. Skip it if you want nonstop shooting at full price.

Great for

Fans of Hotline Miami, Max Payne and Katana Zero who like stylish combos and S-rank chasing

Main risk

The second half turns into clunky platforming and puzzles, and the game is short for the price

What changed in the last 30 days

Recent negatives cite floaty movement and weaker gameplay; no new bug or patch is evident, so the shift is low-confidence.

What players complain about

Second half becomes platforming and puzzles

Mentioned in ~2 in 5 negative reviews

“But for some reason like halfway through the game they were like ♥♥♥♥ it and turned it into a really really boring platformer where most of the gameplay is waiting for the right time to jump.”

Clunky, floaty controls

Mentioned in ~1 in 4 negative reviews

“The wall-jump system is a joke—miss a ledge by a couple pixels and instead of a forgiving climb, you’re punished with a backflip that throws you in the exact opposite direction.”
