Looks very retro, like a slightly-better-looking but not-as-fun-
to-play Contra. The visuals have this weird mid-90s aesthetic, when
CGI-created sprites were taking over from hand-drawn pixel-art. It
didn't really look great then, and doesn't look great now, but the
game does a good job of recapturing that era of games.

Anyway, the game doesn't look completely offensive, and The Number
must go up, so into the pot it goes!
