Look: 8/10 Beautiful colors, I like the stick figure main character ha. Otherwise, just functional. I like that the higher-difficulty enemies have different colors, etc.

Sound: 8/10 Ha, I love the computer voices.

Play: 9/10 The controls are super solid, maze is huge compared to its contemporary Pac-Man. It's a fun concept that's very well executed. I love that there's infinite ammo so it's simply fun

Feel: 9/10 I feel like I actually got really good at this, getting used to how the angles of shooting work and everything. I like that you can shoot enemy bullets to destroy them. It's just a lot of fun, super challenging but also doable enough that you want to keep trying.

Attachment: 9/10 I definitely will be replaying this! You should, too! One of the best arcade games.
