Excellent game that intentionally makes the shootout to be not an exact science. You get to prioritize your targets, then take them out quick as you can. Throw in a quick puzzle between rounds and this is an engaging, multi-faceted game.

Lovely colourful graphics. Unusual gameplay, combining shoot 'em up and puzzler -- with the former aspect taking a bit of getting used to with its... odd shot "physics". Delightfully atmospheric sound effects. And one of the catchiest theme tunes of all time. Love it to this day.
