Horizontal shoot em up. Looks good, often feels made partly to show the parallax scrolling capability of the SuperGrafx. You have main forward shot and can hold attack to charge up a shield to cover the front of your ship that can destroy enemies and projectiles (when it feels like it ?), three types of weapon can be picked up and powered up and the more unique feature is having up to four satellites follow you around that can be switched to follow you, attack on their own, or rotate around you destroying enemies that they hit.

Looks good, decent music, the control of the satellites is a good mechanic though they easily get stuck on things when sent off on their own. Your base speed is too slow and needs to be improved by speed powerups, with the first pickup giving an acceptable feel to movement. Death will spawn you back at the game's last checkpoint with no powerups and with the fairly relentless enemies and small surprise bullets or attacks that you have a good chance of not being able to see coming this does up the difficulty quite a bit.
