that looks like a ripp-off Geometry Wars

Why am I unable to download the demo?

Nice graphics, but I don't like the control scheme. Even with the cap it's expensive, and frankly I think I'd prefer to play noiz2sa.

So what advantages are there in paying for this game when we got Vektar before as a free download? The game looks the same - surely there has to be more to paying £19.99 than having it "boxed"? What game enhancements, worth paying for, are there?

It is not a rip off of geometry wars - the author never played that game - it looks similar, but they both play quite differently.
