I've been seeing a lot of buzz about the game today (probably because I follow them on Facebook) people seem to dig it.

And it's only $2

Green light just went live:

I bought this on Monday, I think it's excellent. I could just imagine this being tucked away in a 90's arcade, it has that look and feel down perfectly.

 

You use the mouse to aim and shoot, and the arrows or WASD to dogde or jump, and basically must destroy or avoid enemies all round the screen while collecting pieces of CDs. Collecting CD pieces goes toward completing a disc, which gives you a new song for the in game soundtrack and a new (permanent) special power. I'm currently not doing brilliantly, as I'm too focused on my reticule that I keep missing the indicators of what direction enemies/projectiles are coming from.

 

The game has also introduced me to the music of Aleksander Vinter(aka Savant), and I'm enjoying the discography on his website a lot.
