It's a neat hybrid of run and gun gameplay mixed with pinball, but I've never considered to pinball to very interesting, so I didn't feel like it really improved the shooter experience all that much beyond the novelty of the design.

Como Smash T.V. pero con temática de pinball. El único inconveniente que tiene es que no es un twin-stick, hubiera sido perfecto si los tuviera.

Smash TV + Pinball. It's frantic and exciting, having players blast through enemies to roll them into orbs to push through targets for score bonuses. Players turn into pinballs themselves, bouncing around to collect prizes and roll through enemy shooters.

It has simple structure but beautiful color and sound work that keeps it a quick blast the whole way through, that's even better with a friend!

Pretty fun little game! Really nice pixel art - very much of its era (loads of action movie influences). Sound was an assault on the senses - driving chip tunes and sampled speech and loud sound FX. The gameplay itself was a mix of Smash TV and pinball. All the themed levels (Ghost level was my favourite) were set inside a pinball machine; you had to gun enemies down and push them towards holes in the floor, or knock down scenery for points and power ups. Occasionally you would pick up a power up that turned your character into a ball. 5 levels was all there was and it didn’t take long to finish but I enjoyed it. Used a lot of continues though!!
