I really don't know what to say about this game except that it really is awesome!

Fun, fast-paced, arcade action reminiscient of a combination of Asteroids, Centipede, Galaga and even Pac Man! And with a very catchy accoustic guitar background that will really grow on you, even if it seems irritating at first. Personally, I liked it right away, but some of my friends thought "Will that ever shut up?" But by 10 or 15 minutes later, they were humming along with it too!

Lots of bright, flashing colors, abstract shapes, and psychedellic backgrounds. Its like old-school arcade shooters on acid (not that I know what its like to be on acid, but I've seen enough movies from the late 60's early 70's to think I have the general idea, and I listen to the Beatles.).

I found the game to be quite difficult, but my cousin had no problems clearing the first couple of levels and only died during the fourth level because he was starting to get bored of the game. Which is its biggest problem. The game does kind of get boring after a couple levels, unfortunately. so its really the kind of thing that you might just load up, play for 10 or 15 minutes, then turn off. Its too bad the game doesn't let you save where you are and pick up where you left off later. Instead, you have to restart the game from the first level, or just play any level you've already unlocked in free play mode.
