The self-described "manic-yet-playable shooter" is from the developer of indie efforts Weapon of Choice and the forthcoming Grapple Buggy (http://kotaku.com/tag/pst/grapplebuggy/), focusing heavily on building an armada of ships that can give colorful bullets as well as they get.
Shoot 1UP's debut trailer highlights some of the gameplay mechanics, including two-player co-op, the mirroring "ghost" power up and the ability to steal ships from a friend, all coated in a thick layer of brightly colored bullets. Keep an eye on the Xbox Live Indie Games channel in January for the game.
