Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ekIVzef4IM

Features:
- 6 Arcade Levels: Each individual level featuring a very different style and feel
- Various Difficulty settings and a rank system which scales the difficulty depending on the player performance
- Unique art style, with retro Scifi setting
- An additional Survival Mode: A more casual gameplay, level up your ship and buy helpful items
- Online Leaderboards

Is there DRM?
Of course, that's just an opinion.
Always seeking netplay fans to play emulated arcade games with.

I really enjoyed the Xbox One version. The combination of the arts style and music works well and the scoring mechanic is well thought out. I hope it does well on the PC.

Bought this a few days ago and I've been having a blast!
Really fun scoring and the use of music is great.

Even the throwaway survival mode is way more fun than it has any right to be.

Thank you so much for finally bringing this to PC!

M2 wishes they had gadgets that rad.

In seriousness, glad you got the opportunity for a wider audience to try this.

I 'think' we are DRM free, we didn't enable any DRM manually. And if I am not mistaken there is no automatic DRM with Steam. You will need Steam however for the online leaderboards.

I've loved this game ever since it came out on Xbox One, and I was just playing it yesterday, actually! This is one of the better modern shmups out there IMO. It's very Western in some design elements but feels fluid and fun to play like a lot of the great Japanese shmups. The weird humor and references to Tesla are fun, too. Hope this does well on Steam
