I mean, obviously this game is super lame. It's just a catch-falling-thing game and then a very poor imitation of a fixed shoot em up. But, I did just spend longer than I expected lol. Got to Score 12,910 / Level 7 (just did the shoot em up screen twice). The movement is super clunky and silly, and the gameplay is inane, so I see why it got bad reviews, but I appreciate how fast-paced it is, especially between levels, and I don't mind a simple game...

Oh boy, time to do a little clean up. There are 2 Atari Gremlins action games, but completely different and released 2 years apart
