A rather fun twin stick shooter that is highly reminiscent of Spore's cellular stage, with the premise of it being Captain Ahab in Space, murdering Cthulhu himself armed with nothing but a surfboard and a literal harpoon. How badass is that?
The game is viciously difficult and will not pull punches, but has been rebalanced somewhat by the developer after the initial releases, resulting in a far less frustrating experience than it once was.

I feel that the game still has some untapped potential, but in its current state this is certainly worth playing and enjoying.

Bear in mind, I initially had a negative review up for this game, with the strikes against it being poor balancing, glitches and my reading on the game's discussion section that the developers had abandoned it. The developer responded to my (rather spicy) review very calmly and patiently, stating that they had not abandoned the game and were working on a patch to address the issues.

Now that I know the product has not been abandoned and several of the issues it was suffering have been actively fixed by the developer, i'm glad to say I feel it has earned the ol' thumbs up. =)
Let's hope they can do even better - I certainly feel the developer is capable of it.
