Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Golden Hornet, developed by Hijong Park and published by PsychoFlux Entertainment, is a retro-inspired twin-stick shooter that builds its identity around fast-paced action, tight controls, and a clear focus on arcade-style gameplay.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
There are other nuances, as well as different ammo types, that also vary the gameplay; the game feels very polished, both in terms of its gameplay options as well as its visual--the pixel graphics, while simple, look nice and unique for each "sprite".

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
You can play with both a keyboard and controller although all the directions listed in the tutorial only cover keyboard controls, so you may need a couple games to figure out all the joystick inputs.
