Depending on pricing, I'll pick this up to support indie devs.

Hell, what am I talking about, I buy every PSN game, lol.

It's a great game. Well, at least the original Space Tripper is. I bought it for Linux back in 2002 or so, and it was awesome.This isn't a side-scrolling shmup like R-Type or something. It's different than anything else I've played, since you can flip directions left or right, and you're on a platform the whole time. Maybe the closest it's to is Defender, or something like that, but you don't pick people up off the ground in Astro/Space Tripper (from what I remember - haven't played this in a while).I'm buying when it hits North America. PomPom is like 2 guys. And they make good games. I wish we had Mutant Storm on PSN, too.
