... is the working title of Jeff Minter's XBLA work in progress. He's done a video of what he's got so far.
Various versions of it can be found in this thread ...

Get it while it's hot. Etc.

It's up on Google Video although the video quality's been reduced so it's quite hard to work out what's going on...

Looks like a cross between Tempest, the visualisations on the 360 Media Player, and Geometry Wars. And it looks a lot of fun. The text that pops up is brilliant - my favourites so far are "CONGRATURATION! YOU SUCCESS!" and the Mario reference "BUT OUR GIRAFFE IS IN ANOTHER CASTLE!"

Did he remove the swearing?

[Phantom]

No swearing in the video.

This is my most wanted game on XBLA now. I love Tempest 2K. I like the Neon visualiser.
I like nicely swirly, abstract shooty games with lots of eye-sucking effects going on and a difficulty curve that would give sherpa Tensing nightmares.
I want this game.
Bring it on.

What ever game he makes, it's bound to a fucked up kinda crack-cocain addict swirly cloured freak-show. I mean, look at him.

good point.

Man, that just looks like total chaos. If I let my ADHD nephew play this, he will br freaking out after 20 seconds. They would need to sedate him and lock him up
