Ratings and reviews

well it's a great game but there are sometimes glitches and bugs which sometimes favour the player or sometimes makes us lose. Sometimes respawning after dying decreases the bullet also in the last level the rocket fire on the Mambo not on the final boss. The helicopter in the final level after respawning becomes still and enemy grenades don't damage that is the part where the bullet range also decreases. Most of the bugs and problems I faced were in the final level.

An offline action game with some issues. As an indie game, it's a fun action game harking back to the 90s games like cannon fodder. Issues include poor translation - The dev is obviously not a native English speaker, but that can pass, though it means some jokes fall flat. Destroyed vehicles are impassable entities, so sometimes block routes that you need to go through when blown up. Some bugs, especially after falling into traps, controls stop working, requiring a restart and loss of progress.

Some good and flaws happen in this game. Eaten by crocodile, pressing shoot button to escape only to be bugged and stuck in the crocodile forever so I have to restart the game from beginning.... That's one bug needed to fix. After all, mostly the game have old school retro pixelated graphics to match old console games... It is a fun twin stick shooter with juicy jokes...
