Got everything going for it, platform, nostalgia, steampunk and the nomenclature (is that too over the top?) Alliterations abound!
Topping!

This has to be one of the funniest games that I have played in a very long time. I love the concept, the game play was great and while I don't really care for music in games (I usually mute it), I found myself loving it. And it's one of the few games that offers great replay. When can we expect a sequel?
great, my favorite game
the music, the feel, the gameplay...
it is all wonderful.
10/10
It's kind of challenging, but it's the same old plane shooting game. **BORRRING!** Except there is the brake feature that gives you more control and less frustration. But still why do we need MORE of these games? It's time for something NEW.
