Gameplay

Very tough, owing to slow movement and fast enemies that are damage sponges.
Zero weapon upgrades. It's a nice peashooter, but it's still a peashooter.
the secondary weapon almost makes up for it. It's a volley of homing missiles which act as a shield and a weapon. Kind of a desparation move. Ammo is limited but can be acquired during a level.
The controls are good, so this game has a great foundation, but it suffers from poor weapons.
One fun inclusion is a rabbit punch which knocks enemies away swho are too close to you. It happens automatically and prevents damage from collision. Pretty cool.

Level Design

Nothing too special. Just fly to the right and handle the waves of enemies. Each stage has a mini boss, although they mostly stay on the right said and move up and down occasionally.

Theme

You're a bunny rabbit. Enemies don't go hard into the cute-em-up territory but most of them fit the theme. Presentation is minimal, despite the novel characters. Still, I like mixing things up with some furry friends instead of yet another space shooter.

4 / 5

Art Style

Great framerate. Backgrounds have depth but no parallax. Beautiful sprite work and great use of bold colors. Good effects as well

4 / 5

Audio

Fun, energetic music. Soft, pleasant sound effects that don't overshadow the music.
