It was actually way more fun than I thought. The look is very wacky-Japanese, which I wasn't expecting. I almost expected the Fruity Oaty Bar song to start up. The opening title music is perfect.
I think I thought it would be more like geometry wars, but it's more blurred than hard lines and pixels. I love that they play tricks with sizes and UFOs and weapons and really mix it up.
Love the weapon pickups, the first time I got the column gun and ripped through a bunch of invaders was very satisfying. Also it jumps out of the main game into little weird rooms that last a few seconds, this is good because it appeals to my ADD in a way that old games no longer do.
Give the trial a try fo sho!
