This visually heavy vertically scrolling shooter follows the fairly standard pattern of other shooters that came before it. Shoot ever tougher enemies mixed with boss fights all the while picking up bonuses. It's bold graphical style and cute sheen means this is one shooter that will appeal to children.
While no story is given - is there ever in a small free shooter? The game relies on the tried and true mechanic of 'going in one direction means things coming the other way are bad, so kill them' and it works out well. They will occassionally drop stars which count as a bonus at the end of the level and you get to use two weapons (double-click for the second, more powerful, but limited weapon).
Although the graphics are amazing, the downside is their overwhelming brightness and desire to be seen, means that the overall effect can be a big messy melange of distraction. For me, most of the colours blended together until it became difficult to tell the enemies apart from the backgrounds.
Fortunately, not all the levels suffer from this effect as drastically as the first level, but its enough to warrant pauses between plays. And while the games cute graphics will draw younger players, the games difficulty may be off putting for some.
