linus tech tips coverage of pax 2013 is brought to you by western digital Intel and steel series hey guys i'm here with a company from the netherlands called Vlambeer with their game loop flower did I say that correctly yeah LaRose okay awesome this game is really interesting because it's like no other aerial combat game I've ever played it's really really hard to describe actually pretty much impossible but the main way I can do it is to say that you're flying around and you can easily change direction by flipping because you have to activate your thrusters whatever the heck you want to call it you're the power on your plane and then you can let go and flip around however you want and burst in another direction the whole time while shooting the whole time will under attack playing this game makes you feel like an absolute badass and when you're done you feel like you suck because you didn't hit anything that you actually wanted to and you didn't complete the goals you wanted to you but it's so much fun they have to play it again it's one of those games you want people to watch you because you feel so badass all your playing is there anything else you can tell me about this game well no I guess that is pretty that was pretty much the idea of the game is to make you feel like the best fighter fighter in the world I then sort of make you realize that you're probably not it's a game of Master eats about game about getting better at something and it's yeah it's hard to describe the feeling of like changing momenta the game that we've been working on for a while now and to hear people get it like that is super exciting that's awesome and like he said it's a game to get better at that's for sure because the second I was done the first round I wanted to play again because I was like no I can do that better i know i can dodge that in a different way i can flip this way and first back and i'll dodge that and kill this guy and but then every time you jump back in it's different and the planes can be different too there's a bunch of customizability can you tell me more about that yeah so there's 125 different air pressure can build you can change the engine the wings the weapons and the body and depending on the airplane you build do you have a completely different playstyles some airplanes can go underwater some of homing missiles summit lasers so much body armor so there's a whole wealth of a place you can build every one of them has a unique soundtrack and a unique name so if you build a different airplane to music for the game changed as well it's really it's really a way for us to sort of play around with how people play a game and also allow them to get better at something they like instead of just foreign to do one specific thing so it's a fun thing it's fun thing to play around with the experiment with that's that's so true because when I was playing I played a few different planes but my favorite one was as you were saying one that could go underwater and one that could shoot missiles because I'd I jump out of the water flip around like crazy and shoot missiles and then run away and get back underwater again and i found that to work really well for me but who knows what will work for you there's 125 combinations like he just said you should definitely try them all out how can someone get this game so the game is no jet but it's going to be out soon it's going to be releasing on pc mac and linux through steam it will be available through the humble widget and it will launch on playstation 3 and playstation vita simultaneously with the pc release that's awesome so you can pretty much get it almost any way you want and you should because this game looks epic and if you're one of those kind of people that play games with other friends this is an awesome spectator sport game thank you for watching our content if you want to see all the rest of our indie mega booth content you want to see all the rest of our packs content be sure to subscribe to Linus tech tips
