You move around with the left stick and fire your flamethrower with the X button.\u00a0 After a while you must reload with the square button.\u00a0 Press another button to jump, and press it again in midair to activate your jetpack to give you a boost.\u00a0 But you must wait a bit afterward for your jetpack to recharge.\u00a0 You\u2019ll finish the level when all monsters are defeated.\u00a0 Pickups include refills for your ammo and jetpack as well as health.<\/p>\n

I liked the retro pixel graphics but that\u2019s about it.\u00a0 Enemies move more than twice as fast as you do and it takes way too long to reload.\u00a0 Menu navigation is clunky and the game didn\u2019t want to save when I was finished.\u00a0 I think the game would be a lot more fun if it were faster paced and not so brutally hard.<\/p>\n
