A future cyborg version of Bonk becomes the main character in a horizontal shmup. Gives you a rapid fire attack, an automatic shooting burst of flame from your feet when enemies get behind you, a charged weapon shot that if held long enough leads to a reusable bomb attack, and a large variety of weapon pickups with their own charged attacks, friend characters that follow and attack with you, and multiple combination forms where you merge with your friend. Colorful, varied enemy and boss designs, and a well praised soundtrack.

Didn't like it. Never found the actual shooting of enemies to be satisfying, didn't like their often strange attacks, and wasn't personally as fan of the soundtrack. The flashing enemies when you hit them and the effects from certain attacks and using your bomb tended to take away from the good look of the graphics as well as make it difficult to see what was going on in terms of enemy shots.
