Really neat little game.

The first time you play through it's fun to see what will come up next, and after that it's all about beating your friends (or your own) fastest time. Depending on what type of player you are, you'll also make sure to gather all the coins and secrets either on your first or a subsequent playthrough.

One minor complaint is that the game-logic is tied to your FPS, meaning that if you're on a slow computer (like mine) your ship will move slower, which will make it easier to complete levels and get coins while making your resulting times higher. This can be avoided to a degree by reducing graphical settings and resolution to the lowest possible, but you really need a capable enough computer if you want to compete.

Zachtronics Industries finally made a "real" game :D

This is the latest and greatest in Zachtronics' "Games for Engineers"-series, and this is the first one to recieve the polish it deserves. Featuring a slick interface that looks like Star Trek consoles, controls tailored to FPS gamers, leaderboards done right, atmospheric music that you'll keep humming all day, ever-increasing complexity and of course challenging and satisfying mechanics, this is one of the better puzzle games out there.

Also, a soon-to-be-released level editor with in-game sharing has recently been announced! So what are you waiting for? Play the demo today!

Utterly brilliant.

Feels a bit like Mario64, but with Grim Fandango dialogue. Also has superb level design. Use a gamepad for best effect.

Cheap&Awesome.

Sadly a bad PC port, experiment with video settings to improve frame rate and make sure to use a gamepad (using XPadder or something akin).

Classic.

Make sure to get an updated renderer and the UI scaling fix.

Fantastic.

Feels a bit Metroid-esque, and is best played using mouse-only.
