### 5/5 — Good but!

*2025-12-20, version 1.1.1*

No updates yet! what of waste of money. Can I get it back?!

### 3/5 — Updates

### 5/5 — Epic!

*2024-04-03*

(Update 2) Also there's something wrong with teleporting - it just won't work at seemingly random times (though usually it's when I'm right next to multiple monsters, and no it's not because I've used up my allotment of teleports)
(Update 4/1/24) Downloaded to play again after not having played for a while. Still prefer this one over Tesla Force. Two problems - the bloom effect is causing flashes I'm pretty sure didn't use to happen (so I disabled them as it was annoying), and turning off phone vibrations in the options isn't working, which I'm pretty sure is an Apple iOS violation (as I think Apple requires it be an option for people with disabilities). I realize this game is old, but please fix! (end update). This is such an awesome game! Even after completing all three planes, I still go back and replay areas. Great graphics, music, and challenging dual stick shooter action! More content please! I'm a huge Lovecraft fan, so I'd love to see more creatures, etc from his mythos.

### 3/5 — It’s a fun game but has flaws

*2023-07-01, version 1.1.1*

The biggest issue that I face is my screen has a spaz attack whenever I play it but it doesn’t have very often only when things get super crazy

### 4/5 — Great game, quest bug lets it down

*2022-09-28*

Great fun and good for sitting on buses - it really lets you zone out until your stop.

It’s had a bug for at least a couple of years where certain quests can never be fulfilled: winning with the ricochet perk is one. I saw someone report this on the Steam forums for the PC version. Would be a solid 5/5 if that were fixed.

### 1/5 — Very difficult

*2022-05-21, version 1.1.1*

Game is too hard and there is no way to adjust difficulty

### 5/5 — Please

*2021-04-14, version 1.0.7*

Don’t stop developing for this game, I like playing but add something new or whatever just getting bordd Ed d

### 5/5 — Good but missing dlc from pc version

*2021-03-07, version 1.0.7*

Also I don’t see a bendable button for gamepad to lock weapon

### 5/5 — Отличный твинстик шутер!

*2020-10-07*

Ребята всё никак не научатся делать что-то кроме Crimsonlan, и это хорошо. Отличный аркадный шутер с прокачкой и тонной уровней.
