Evelyn ★★★★★

The 16-bit pixel art nails that arcade feel, and the horizontal scrolling never lets up. I've put in a few hours and the difficulty curve keeps pulling me back for one more run.

Timothy ★★★★★

Endless mode has completely taken over my commute — one more run turns into forty minutes every time. The horizontal scrolling feels just like the old arcade cabinets, and the bullet patterns stay readable even when the screen gets packed.

Zoe ★★★★★

The 16-bit art style nails that classic arcade vibe, and the endless horizontal scrolling keeps me coming back for just one more run.
