Diabolic.
The first time many saw images from Diatomic one word was in their head: Geometry Wars (okay, that's two). The similarities in appearance are definitely there: closed-border shooter (attention: new term coinage alert!) and old-school wire-frame graphics. This isn't a bad thing though, with imitation being the best form of flattery and all...

This kind of reminds me of Centipede.
A microscopic version of Orbient?
Want.
Interesting...looks a lil like centipede and spore. Waiting til I hear/see more on this before I make any strong opinion on this.
This sounds interesting. Kinda reminds me of an online flash game called "fl0w."
I'll definitely get this unless something turns me off.
In any case, Diatomic devs have stated that they're working on a site and trailers and the like for release in a couple days so keep your eyes peeled.
This game initially interested me, but nothing about it has come up. Hopefully nothing has happened to this game, since it is a very interesting concept and would recieve a lot of attention... if more information was given to help spark the interest.
Is it a bit like Geometry Wars? If so, I'm in!
Its go quiet on this...hmmmm
Diatomic is currently in LotCheck. We are preparing hard on promotional material. But it's coming
It's here.
Anyone try this out yet? Looks like it could be quite good!
very bad controls for the tail, impredicable and can be painfull to the wrist after just some minutes. If there was a option for the classic controller could be a good game.
