I tried the demo and it was awesome although I don’t feel the full game should cost $20 especially when there is next to no documentation, it would be nice to have more than shoot stuff, collect stuff to go off of, and the guys attitude seems to be that we should just throw money at him and he might just be bothered to improve stuff.

I thought that comment about dizziness was a joke. Ten minutes later I really feel a little bit sick.

Everyone should try playing it with the Sunshine score in the background. Brilliant.

Also: The sense of scale in this outstrips most supposedly ‘big world’ games I’ve played lately.

This is quite awesome. I’ll have to run it fullscreen with the HUD hidden and get myself some very pretty wallpapers.

I think it’s time we find a genre name for “acid trip procedurally generated indie shooters” so we can stop taking them seriously.

Thoughts…

Freespace (stripped down) on drugs?

You can make the game tougher in the options menu (hit escape). I started getting toasted every so often when on “normal.”

The two powerups at the same time (very fast shot + auto aim within the reticule) is instagib, countered only by the massive waves as you start playing for a while.

And it’s a bit early for a game set in the fractal wars isn’t it? I lost a few friends to the math menace…
