It's like a 4 player space race. Except now it's REAL.
The concept is simple - drop 4 player controlled ships in a progressively fast shooter (or shmup if you must call it that). The game speeds up wave after wave, while you and you're 3 friends do your best to dodge and shoot crap out of the way to survive. The occasional power up will wizz by you if you're not quick enough, and you can dash left or right using the bumpers to make narrow escapes. It's all done from a top down perspective, and made up of bitastic old school graphics.
Even the soundtrack is awesome - a simple little chiptune that you'll be humming in your head for days after.
The game's simplicity is it's main reason for success - ANYONE can play - you just need that primitive basic instinct to get the hell out of the way to play. The action get's frantic once wave 3 hits - and it's usually over for the noobs by wave 4 or 5. Sometimes you'll lose sight of your ship when things get super fast, or you're making this into a drinking game - but that's the only complaint. Once you get pretty good at the game, you should start using the bumper dash more so you can amaze your friends with your Han Solo skills. Wear a black vest over a dirty white collared shirt for extra impact.
If you have 3 friends, and you each have a quarter, stop being a jerk and have some fun. Buy this game - you won't regret it.
