How was it a serious submission if it was tempest? those 2 games have nothing in common apart from being vector games
i am done talking to Stiletto, he cannot find the game wich the screenshot belongs to, a screenshot wich i did not take but is real.
i can describe the animation the center boss made. the inner octagon weaved and warped a bit, the little triangles just seemed to vibrate slowly and the cube rotated the eye was fixed and the triangular view cone switched from left to right but only sometimes, i think it was measuring or timed on brain half switching or something, depending on the controls.

but my question was should it be released?
it is weird and possibly dangerous.
what if someone wants the highest score, or ignores warnings, or plays this alone?
it would somewhat like handing out LSD shrooms don't even do this. How can it be controlled, for ppl to experience?
In the end it is the rarest (game), but for a reason.
One of the cabs was made into a positive version without sound, that could be relesed without problems, but it would still not be the same.
