I remember getting it when I was 9 because it had monsters and creatures on the box art and I was insanely confused by how different the actual game was from my expectations. I was stuck on the second level's boss for over a year as a kid which to this day is the longest I've ever been stuck on a boss fight. It's decently fun once you get the hang of the difficulty though.

first. also, i could never beat the first level, but lord knows i tried

One of the worst shmups I've ever played. Could have been much, much better...
I also have a way more intricate review of this on the Steam version of this, read that instead to see why I don't like this game much in more detail.
