Very tight design built around the forward-only shooting scheme, and stands out from other military shooters with its metallic-green desaturated pixel art. I actually liked the tension of the autofire restrictions, I can't name many other arcade games where mashing felt rewarding instead of begrudging. Would be a lot more fondly remembered if the difficulty didn't jump tenfold in stage 5, these hitboxes are not forgiving enough for me to weave between so many bullets with so few checkpoints.
