Addictive and colourful, a great conversion of the PC game of the same name.

A tail of melted thumbs and eyeballs ★★★★★

Im never gonna get out of this alive! Death came swiftly. Death comes with a strange regularity. In a bunch of eye melting pixelly ways. Yours thumbs wont thank you. Your eyes wont thank you, but your brain will. How can something so pretty be so damned evil? Well, spawned from the bullet-hell spattered brain of Rob Fearon, how can it be any other way? Are games art? This question has been answered: loud and clear. Dead again. And again. And again. But progressing nicely with every game.

Excellent ★★★★★

On a par with Super Hexagon in the best short game experience available on iOS while also jumping into the number one dual stick shooter on iOS. This is my favourite game if the year so far and developers are going to have to work hard to wrestle that accolade away from DRM.

I need faster thumbs! ★★★★★

Fast, furious, colourful, noisy, chaotic. Please sir, I cannot tell a lie, DRM is the dogs.

Very nice ★★★★

Im not sure if Im winning or losing but its pretty awesome none the less. Very Minter-esque. Good controls and nice, colourful graphics.

Soft & brutal arena shooter ★★★★★

by alienbraincookies - Version 1.0.42 - Jan 30, 2013

Hypnotic, relentless, shiny and very challenging arena shooter... Shoot the glowy death, make stuff explode. ALL the stuff! I like how you can dip in and play casually, or attempt to take it seriously and laugh as it tears your teeth out. Love your manta!

More colours than Skittles and sherbet ★★★★★

Stuff all these awful casual games and advert ridden atrocities. This is the real deal. Do you lament the demise of your local arcade emporium, then this is for. Do you like Robotron but with many many deaths. Then this is most certainly for you. Well, i enjoyed it anyway.
