That has more in common with twin stick shooters than anything else, I personally leave it off lists that focus more on traditional scrolling shmups.

Fun game though. Cheap, too.

Indeed it is - I was focusing on the original post, and missed it!

I can see that. But yes, great game, and one that I need to go back to at some point...

should go ahead and throw tempest x on there. there's also the terrifying MetaPhList.

twin stick should always always always be on lists like this. yes, there was a twin stick boom and it drove you crazy. no, that doesn't make it a "borderliner". give robotron a little more respect than that...

There's no disrespect implied by putting things into logical categories.
