Two player co-op Gallery shooter like Cabal, Blood Bros, or NAM 1975 Dodge is the key to survival Double jump Gun powerups are frequent and very helpful Could've used an alternative control scheme with movement via the d-pad and moving the cursor via the face buttons, but the one they choose works ok
