Early Access on Steam, starts Jan 22.
Sounds good, looks sorta like F-Zero, but also has boss fights (looks like arena-style with a free-following camera).
Pretty interesting!

It looks like it doesn't know what it wants to be, so it's trying to be everything to everyone.

I'd be cautious.

Yeah, this kinda feels like a Treasure Jr. game without the production qualities.

It looks interesting [those visuals are pretty nice], but I'm also thinking it's trying to be too many things at once.

8-Bit Horse played the game and goes through it in some detail. Odd things stand out like not having control over the ship's speed..? He does say though that the risk-reward of 'using powerups reduces your health' was pretty fun.
