Gameplay

The weapons (blue, red, alternate red) give you a beam, spread, or x shot.
One hit death
Sub weapons to collect tho you have to hit a button to activate before you can use them. Kinda weird
Enemies move quickly but you upgrade your speed to an equally blistering rate

4 / 5

Level Design

This is where the game shines. Lots of interesting events and bosses.

Theme

Legendary Wings wannabe. You're Icarus or maybe the cherub from Actraiser, who's to say?
Eh I like the mythology theme here, although they don't explore it enough for my taste.

Art Style

Unfortunately this game is kind of ugly. The artwork is not good. Enemy designs are blah with everything having a generic look. You fight way more squids, bugs, and rocks than actual menacing looking enemies. All the sprites are very small and poorly animated. The color palette is also very dark and limited.

2 / 5

Audio

Pretty simple music and again only uses a handful of sounds. The sound of shooting is obnoxious
