Fast paced area shooter with some odd sprite design.

I actually thought this was a pretty good time. It uses a trackball for movement and joystick for shooting so kind of like a twinstick shooter like Robotron or SmashTV but it mixes it with a matching type game where you need to clear enemies that match. The control layout also isn't level. Its a pretty severe slant but you get used to it pretty quick. Not a bad idea but after a few levels it starts getting pretty hectic and I kept "oversteering" with the trackball and running into enemies.
