Im surprised no one has mentioned this, its on the marketplace, any minter fan will adore this, its absolutely bonkers!

Its tempest with another glossy set of clothes, its fantastic fun, very very trippy!
 
Not as good as the Tempest series, and it can be a little hard to see exactly what's going off, but not bad. One of the better arcade titles.
 
I played for like 3 minutes and I bought it. I haven't actually played the full game yet because I am hungry and typing this reply... I dont know why.

But someone tell me. Is that a picture of J Allard in the background on level... 6 I think.

No one knows! Wait until you get to later levels, you'll wonder how they ever came up with the stuff they introduce into the later levels.
 
Give this game some time.. after an hour or two hours, it begins to make sense and you'll see through the madness.

Oh, and you have to hear the enemy too.. the bullets and the flowers make seperate noises, it's so important.

It's hard to explain..

but for 400 points, anyone who cares about indie games should honestly give it a go.

I agree, i have been following its progress for ages in Edge, ive always been a huge minter fan, back from the early Mutant Camels and lawnmower games, whats not to love?

Some of the testers high scores are amazing though, like 450m!
 
Jeffs currently No 1 on the leaderboard.

Im not getting the power bar thing or the jump thing.. or the A button thing. Why dont I just keep pressing that?

Yeh, thats the one, did you know there is a hover bover 2 for the pc? You can download the demo at www.llamasoft.co.uk :)
 
I love Jeff Minter's stuff - I was a huge Llamatron fan back in the day... spent ages playing that on my ST.

This game makes me wish I had a 360!
