Not much to say about this game except it is HARD. Everyone used to playing games that dont exactly challenge you expect to get real mad at this game. Let's just get down to the core of it all, gameplay. It's pretty basic fly around blow **** up arcade style game. Except for the fact that you can absorb enemy fire, store it and then release it when you see fit for a more powerfull attack. There are two "color" modes you can switch between; black and white. While in the black color you can absorb shots fired from the black enemies, white ones will kill you, and vise versa. There is support for two players, but even then it can be hard. I have only made it to level 3 by myself so far (playing on Hard) >_> There is very little lag in the game, the only that's been noticeable so far is when you blow up bosses the explosion causes a bit of slowdown. Everything else in the game runs very smooth. Words can't really justify this game's fun factor to it's full extent, you need to at the very least watch a gameplay video. After doing so you will see that the game can get very intesnse & challenging, but at the same time it reamins very fun. With that being said this game is ont for everyone, only those who enjoy a good challenge XP
