The Good
AAAAAAAAAARGH! This is probably the single worst shooter I've played in my life (and trust me, "bad game" is my middle name). I guess the only decent thing here is the game's music, which is fairly good.
The Bad
Hmm. Where do I begin? OK, the graphics. They suck. Onwards. Controls? They suck too. No surprises there. Level design? You guessed it - it sucks. Even the menus suck! Who wrote this thing?! And what does this bloody flying tiger's head do?
The Bottom Line
A completely amateur attempt at making a game. Wrong! It sucks.

Trivia
Music
Older versions of the game used HMI/MID music composed by Allen Coppock. When an OPL sound card is used in these versions, a combination of FM instruments and PCM drum samples are used to play the music.
Newer versions use a new tracker music soundtrack composed by Karsten Koch, author of the famous ARYX.S3M
