Developed using XNA Games Studio Express and coming soon to the Xbox LIVE marketplace, this game resembles Geomatry Wars a bit. From the video it is a bit confusing what the point is or what is going on, other than the level was cleared and they had ten lives left. It looks interesting and it is nice to see XNA getting a bit of exposure but this video is confusing at best and doesn’t really show us anything. For some reason this seems to be a running trend over at Gametrailers, the last few weeks have been plagued with artsy or psychodelic videos on video games, this and Katamari to name a few.
