Ever heard of a shmup where it is impossible to hit enemies while moving to another direction? Here it is. 90-degree-turnaround controls is a odd design choice for a game of this kind (esp in combination with the isometric perspective and random enemy attacks) and does not work well actually.
The elephant in the room is the collision detection, where hit areas often do not match the object in the background. Some of them not even close.
Boring, repetitive and worst of all, unplayable. Pretty to look at for a while though, until you realise you've been had.
Also, doesn't load on my SX64 when JifyDos is activated. Loads fine without JiffyDos.
I bought mine on Mastertronic Plus label
