This is a really smooth vertical shooter for the Next. The graphics are many layered and very well animated. It is one good looking game. The audio sounds fantastic with a great back track. My only criticism there is that the sound effects could do with a little more punch to stand out from the music. And... the game has mouse controls as an option! This means it is compatible with the Nextball Arcade and I can confirm it works really well with it. This is the first true Next vertical shooter with Nextball capability (Red Shift is a classic Speccy game that can do it). BUT... there is a bug. You cannot move with a mouse/Nextball unless you hold down fire. This needs fixing before the game can take the title. Hopefully this can be fixed soon, then that's finally a Next vertical shooter in the growing Nextball capable library of games. Thanks Mr Dev, you made my weekend.
PS. If you do an update to fix the mouse/Nextball bug, adding the ability to use the delete key during high score name entry as well would add some extra polish. It can be a bit frustrating otherwise.
