Mean Machines magazine reviewed the title, giving it 88%.[4]

MegaTech 5 magazine praised the power-ups and the graphics used for the bosses.

gollark: They make one simple thing and then think "wow, this is easy", then make a horrible mess of spaghetti code because they never learn sensible ways.
gollark: PHP? C-like?
gollark: Well, not exactly.
gollark: Ah, yes, the joys of PHP.
gollark: A standard library patched together from C, Perl, and random junk; inconsistent, specialcasey syntax; terrible protection against XSSing, etc; terrible file-based routing.
