Depends. My first attempt, I played the jungle and everything was fine. Second attempt I took the... uh... route with a lot of water? And I had some - not really 'slowdown,' but more like stuttering at various points. Not completely game-breaking, but certainly annoying. Jungle seemed fine though, so I don't know if it's a matter of route. Audio is not perfect, but that wouldn't bother me if the gameplay was 100%.
My thoughts on the game itself: I don't love it. But in fairness, I've never been a huge fan of 8-way shooters. A game like this has to be really perfect for me to get into it. Maybe it's that I'm not great at them. The whole thing where you have to not be shooting to change which way you're shooting sort of confuses me I guess. I tend to have trouble aiming fast enough, so I'm always just kind of moving around and shooting at nothing it seems.
The graphics are really great though. Excellent sprite-work, awesome color pallet, wonderful detail. I don't hate it, and I'll give it a fair shot, but I find it doubtful it'll hold me interest for an extended portion of the month.
