In this arcade style space shooter, you are travelling through a long corridor filled with enemies, bonuses and more.
There are two modes of play, Retro and Modern and it seems strange, to me at least, that both versions have exactly the same sounds, almost exactly the same graphics, and the same track to drive down and the same bonus pick-ups in the same positions. It seems very strange, to me, that the modern one is not, well, more “enhanced” than the retro version, instead of being pretty much identical.
The sound effects are nothing too flashy, but they are pretty alright. Again, it seems strange that the same effects are used and not updated for the modern version, but that aside, they do sounds quite nice and don’t get in the way really.
As for the actual game play, well, it is fun in a way, but having two identical modes of play is a very strange thing to do and really adds nothing to the game play at all, sadly. It could have gotten very exciting in the modern version, with bonus guns and the ability to go faster, etc.
Anyway, the point is, it's an alright game, as it is, and is nothing really to be sneezed at, so give it a go if you like, as there is some entertainment to be found here and it is quite fun, in a way.
