Cactus recently released a small game/tech demo on his personal forum called MSOIDS. It’s a mouse & keyboard shooter that’s apparently “inspired by Echoes.” (Which is “a bit like Asteroids,” natch.) But the coolest thing about MSOIDS, and the reason for it being made, is its visual style. It’s all vector art. Vector art with a nice layer of randomization that gives the whole thing this kinda-junky, kinda-funky handmade feel. I can dig it!
Oh, and the music is top notch. Check it out.
UPDATE: Oops, it seems cactus wasn’t ready for a public release when I posted this! But he’s already made an update, cool cat that he is.
