Played the demo, then bought the game. I have had some trouble trying to get the full game on my new phone, but that's not the devs fault. If you love old megadrive side scrolling shooters - with some difficulty, then this is absolutely for you!!! Beautiful presentation too. Rammed full of countless neat little touches. Cannot recommended highly enough. Simply fantastic game. Just one thing - can we have a sequel or 2?!?!

The controls take a bit of getting used to, but are so responsive and clean that it's worth the learning curve. If you attached the game to a controller, you'd think it was a well made game from the time of snes or Sega Genesis. It's challenging too, keeps you thinking on your feet. A truly rare find, and well worth the 5 dollars for the full version. If you like Run and Gun gaming, pick up the full version for 5 dollars. You won't regret it.

It's actually a very good game! I was looking for some shooters and well, besides its gunplay, the characters with their voices too, its cool! and also for additional, this game has a very great artstyle! Like, the detail and a fit atmosphere from what they have- the cyberpunk-ed theme. The things were that, you have to pay to play fully and the screen's width was too wide and big for my phone. The game's menus and stuff was almost cropped! Maybe with better device im sure it'll be way nicer.

The game is amazing, let me say. It's incredibly fun hunting the bad guys. Game is a side scrolling shoot em up; you play through a level of peeons to emerge at the boss battle who is a thug that you're after. Very well done, crisp controls. I had to go with 4 stars because though the game works with my MOGA X5, the buttons are incorrect in the game with what I'm pressing on the controller and the button configuration menu doesn't really tell you much like how to use grenades and a shotgun.

How do I give more than 5 stars? This game is insanely good, and feels like the best of an old-school arcade game somehow maximized for today's powerful cell phones - especially the widescreen! Playing it with a controller mapped the way I want, it immediately feels like an old favorite. I bought the full version just minutes into playing. This is one I'll go back to over and over - great, simple, visceral action! Amazing 64bit-style graphics!

This game is HARD, even on normal difficulty. And that's a good thing, though my thirtieth attempt at the second boss means I doubt I'll ever actually finish the game. Also the fact that checkpoints don't save between sessions is annoying, so sometimes I can't be bothered starting a session. But the TLC in this game is so obvious I don't regret the purchase at all. This one will stay on my device for a long time.

This game scratches an itch I didn't even know I had. The art is fantastic. It captures the futuristic dystopian theme perfectly. The gameplay is 2D side scrolling shooting and it is a lot of fun. Most of the time you are just shooting bad guys. But there is a little bit of strategy to each level and you get some fun weapon variety. The controls work as well as mobile controls can work. Keep making games like this and I will keep buying them.

I was floored this game was available on Android. It's one of my favorite action games on PC. Now I can play it on the go, smooth as butter, on my Pixel 5 with a Razer Kishi controller attached. The buttons aren't mapped right by default, but at least you can re-map them. This is the way mobile gaming should be done! A free download trial of a fun action-packed game that runs well on the platform and can be purchased in full for a fair price. No naggy ads or Microtransactions. Happy to buy.

Pleasantly surprised to see this available on Android at an incredibly reasonable price. Borderline flawless part with the only bug that I've found is that as somebody else has mentioned, the pause button via controller doesn't work. Other than that, the game is simply sublime and should be experienced by anybody with a passing interest in 90s, platformers or shooters. This isn't one to be missed!

Worth every penny. Old school platform/shooter, challenging levels, difficulty levels increased gradually, a lot of different weapons, enemies, bosses are difficult however there are patterns. Perfect mapping with Gamesir g4s. After a long time of hit and miss with mobile games this wins all the top ranks. And I am writing this at 50% of the game beaten. Buy it, play it.

Amazing game! Full of action, platforming, and shooting! It reminds me a lot of contra or streets of rage. Perfectly tight controls makes you feel immersed in the game like youre the bounty hunter, killing enemies. Speaking of which, enemies have great variety as well as weapons. You can equip a shotgun, a machine gun, a rocket launcher, grenades and molotov cocktails and many more. Currently it is on sale for only 2.99 so it's way too much value. Recommended!
