"Crime ran rampant through the streets, but Harold and Benny played every club and dive to spread that sweet sound of music to every ear that could hear.
However...
Crime breeds fear, and fear feeds the dark. The ghosts and ghasts reach out and eat more than the boys can beat! When music alone can't stop these bad bones, it's time for a little balacera!"

Bellissimo gioco in puro stile Arcade! Lo consiglio! A+++++ Beautiful game in pure Arcade style! I recommend it! A +++++
A cool little arcade platformer with an italo-disco/thriller theme (the devs pretend it's ska, but I'm not convinced). It really plays like an oldschool arcade game which means it has continues and sustained difficulty, but also, that the game is rather short, and the theme is superficial with silly enemies and stages. You can finish it in a couple days. Buy it on a sale, preferably no more than a couple dollhair. It's cool to note than the game runs on the 'beats of rage' engine, which ensure a flawless performance and increases the oldschool look and feel.

I played thru this game twice - once solo and once with a friend. It is a short yet enjoyable Contra-clone game. My only issue is that the final level and true end boss is locked in either normal or hard mode (which has limited lives and continues). Also it doe not have any achievements, which is really odd for a Steam game. Otherwise, I enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who likes Contra or other Run & Guns games.
22块钱原价买的仿魂斗罗游戏,打折可能也就几块钱,这个价格我很难对他有什么不满的点,可能反派坏的过于直白算个缺点吧(哪有人直接在门上写上反派巢穴的啊!)boss难度做的不是很均衡,美杜莎石雕明显比后面所有boss都难打,她一个人有三种攻击方式,最终boss甚至只有一种机关枪扫射,对比起来美杜莎更像最终boss。而且美杜莎的攻击不是很好躲,我的方法是站在最边缘的位置,蛇头的子弹是打不到这个位置的,蛇头移动过来的时候跳起来躲一下,这个可能要浪费几条命掌握一下节奏,然后利用蛇头移动的时候跳起来射击,石化光线就硬吃然后挣脱,这样虽然要花点时间刮痧刮死,但是可以保证不浪费太多生命在这个boss上,比较稳健。
