A video has now surfaced, showing work in progress on the game, and it looks like it could be the first live arcade game to give Geometry Wars a run for its money.

The game play definitely is reminiscent of Minter’s classic Atari vector-based arcade game, combined with the trippy psychedelia that he’s well known for these days. The game is still in development, but should be hitting Xbox Live Arcade some time in 2007.
