Probably my favorite Space Invaders-like I've played, which maybe isn't saying much but yea. I like how the lives are tied to the king that you defend rather than the cannon you control, as knowing that I can take infinite amounts of hits with only a brief stun as my punishment for getting hit makes me take more risks and play more aggressively, and in part the game can also be more aggressive with its assault of balloons. That isn't to say this game is easy though, as getting hit while the king is being abducted or having the king get abducted too far away is a certain loss. The voice samples are strange yet charming in their own right. I'd play this over Galaxian any day.
