Most shoot 'em ups put players in the hot-seat of futuristic fighter jets or space ships, but not flying cars. It was this which drew me to this intriguing arcade blaster, only to leave me thoroughly disappointed by the horrid power-up (or should that be power-down) system.
Picking up crystals upgrades your car's blasting ability, but this decays over time - flashing enemies will drop more crystals when destroyed, but the game often places them in the middle of huge squadrons of other bad guys, making then infuriatingly difficult to get to. You start to get overwhelmed as your shots get weaker and the enemies more numerous, which really doesn't make for a fun gameplay experience.
