Press reviews: “Feels like a game that pays proper homage to the late ’80s and early ’90s with a VHS filter over the action, but with a bright look and higher level of detail in its world than even arcade games of the time.” 4/5 – Hardcore Gamer “PopSlinger does just that [putting its best foot forward and leaving a lasting impression]. This arcade-style shoot’em up is a bubbly, bright, and nostalgic surprise. I was drawn in by the retro anime aesthetics and dreamy city pop-inspired soundtrack...PopSlinger is a video game that wastes no time in putting the player right in the action.” Utopia District “PopSlinger is the perfect game for those times when you just want to kick back and have some plain, simple fun. Its whimsical and colorful visuals, amusing story, and easy-to-learn, difficult-to-master gameplay make it a charming and enjoyable experience that's sure to scratch that particular itch.” GoNintendo
