It's also damn cheap to make. Muratore's Kickstarter goal is €300, of which it has already raised €35.88.
The project is a a top-down action-shooter game set in a completely abstract world, and has been developed for Windows and Linux platforms. Up to 6 different ships can clash in the Arena, taking advantage of all of the unique and balanced skills each of them owns.
