This is a very simple, VERY beautiful, and verrrrrrry addictive (and free) 2D shooter that I am amazed has never been mentioned around here. I just got it last night haha.

Enjoy!

My friends and I use medium as the standard of difficulty and so far I have lasted almost six minutes :-(

Here is a nice writeup with great screenshots of the game:

Looks a hell of a lot like Geometry Wars, which I suck at very badly.

awesome. i dont have a 360 but i loved playing geometry wars on all my friend's. This + my usb ps2 controller = endless fun. My only gripe is that i wanna track my high scores but im not good enough to beat the ones that are already in there :(. is there a way to reset them?

edit:
nm i found the hiscores.dat file, i'll just edit that

Just out of interest how are you guys controlling this? I've played this on 360, and I do have an XBOX USB controller but it's not with me now so I'm trying to use mouse to aim...WASD to move...but it's kinda hellish.
Amit
09-17-2006, 03:51 PM
arrow keys to move

wasd to shoot
dannnnnnnnny
09-17-2006, 03:52 PM
Other way round ftw, too used to using WASD for movement from CS.
Amit
09-17-2006, 03:56 PM
haha i play FPSs too but i think wasd for shooting works best for this game
Matt?
09-17-2006, 03:58 PM
yeah i use wasd for shooting arrows for moving.

it's easier, i think i have more right hand finesse

09-17-2006, 04:04 PM

I use the mouse. It's probably better.

High score of a little more than a million in 19:54

Probably some driver problems.
