Euro PS blog has an article up about this, reposting Jeff Minter's article about the history of how it came about. Was an interesting read on his website, so it's good that it is getting a wider audience.

Yeah I read that on it site yesterday as you say, nice to see it posted to a wider audience. Still no mention of price though, i'm thinking £7.99 and hopeful for a + discount, although I will be getting it whatever the price.

I'd feel bad paying just £7.99 or less for this game. Can't. Fucking. Wait. Reading the reactions in this thread I really hope Llamasoft do well with this and hope Sony have to double take at the sales numbers, that would be icing.

Is the SEN Vita page a good place to be checking for it? Hitting reload there seems simpler than keep searching around on the Vita.The only time I've been this hyped for some time was November 29th. Need to go out and get some air!

Edit: Any news on an OST release?

I know people are pushing for something on Bandcamp, but no idea what stage it's at. But you can bet your sheep that once it's known, I'll link it all up in the OP.

Sigh. These types of games are fun but I can only take my skills so far. I was hoping this would be a little more assecible than Space Giraffe. I guess it is somewhat but I always feel like I'm struggling against the controls in these games. My brain often flips left and right - usually when I really want to get a power up. Ugh!
Click to expand...
I'm exactly the same... apparently having bad left/right-brain co-ordination is an ADHD thing. So I actually get some weird, pleasurable kick out of it (almost endorphin-y) when I can overcome that spatial awareness glitch in my grey matter. Stick with it :)

Are you okay if I post the translated link (along with the original) in the OP with a translated quote? Don't want to make your article look like it was poorly written, but I'll make sure I mention it was translated :)

Shaneus, have you picked up Surge Deluxe yet? That's another great high score game. I've been enjoying that whilst waiting for this to drop.

Thanks for the tip, will definitely get. Having such a powerful handheld in the Vita for some reason makes developers want to make console-esque games. To hell with that, I say! I want classic, arcadey, addictive handheld gaming turned up to fucking 11. Way it's looking, Vita is going to be king in that regard... even across most other platforms bar PC.

Way too early still guys right? I think all your posts about checking the store woke me up early.

At least it will only be like 100mb when it's up!

Jeff Minter has just tweeted that the soundtrack will be made available to buy, with profits being shared between the musicians.

EDIT: He's also quoting GAF, I've just noticed. :p

Has anyone else noticed that you get new power-ups further into the game? I was at level 62 or so and started getting
DUAL WIELD
. Great stuff.

So I am going to buy a Vita for this game. But I cannot decide between the 1000 and 2000!

I can only imagine this will look a hell of alot better on the OLED screen.

You would imagine correctly. Given the cheaper price of the 1000 as well, unless you are worried by the battery life which actually isn't that bad, then it's a no brainer.

I need to stop searching on the Vita store for this. By the time it's up for purchase I'll have killed my battery. :'(

Lunch in just over an hour. Come on Sony you know you want to!

Man, this is like the one week where the AU PS Store hasn't updated earlier than it should. >_> Guess I'll grab it in the morning.

Oh yeah, PSN thingy! infernalmonkey1

03 - Anosou - Laser Everywhere
04 - Junosix - Noise Pulse

Once this game arrives for us in the EU, if anyone would like someone to prop up the bottom of their leaderboard and make themselves feel better, add me:

Last weeks update already took so long and Dustforce isn't even under the recent tab. Now we have to wait for TxK.
Did our store team get Grace Chened?

Got to go to work in two hours and want to play it before :(

I'm secretly hoping it doesnt go up for about another 3 hours, gives me time to get home before my leaderboards start filling up!

Haha yeah, I can't believe they never bothered to add last week's stuff to the lastest release section of the store. Must have been super frustrating for the developers of Dustforce and Surge.

L-button usage seems pretty important on especially the higher stages. i feel the craft physics are more slippy than giraffe and t2k, to the point i almost need to use the L-button to ensure a full stop
