This game is as good as shooters (especially indie shooters) get to perfection. This is a wonderful mix of fantastically well done twin-stick shooting, and amazing all-guitar music. Have you ever crafted a supreme jazz guitar solo by blasting robots? No? Then play this game! It's really different, innovative and like no other twin-stick shooter I've ever played.
