WORLD'S BEST SCREENSAVER

The screensaver centers on a starship in battle with a bunch of other starships and the AI runs everything and it is very fun to watch and it loads quickly and it doesn't have anything annoying like sound or anything.

also there's a spaceship roguelike that it's based on but the screen saver is what i'm really excited about here

The game reminds me of a shittier Escape Velocity

Screensaver is fun to watch, however.

It is a shittier EV:N.  It's free, though.

Problem is that the upgrade system really sort of drags, and wingmen quickly become fodder that you can't replace (unlike say, running a fleet of pirate carriers).  You really don't feel like you're making much forward progress.

I wish Ambrosia was smart enough to put EV:N on steam now that it's cross platform.. But I guess they're too busy working on shitty iPhone and iPad games these days.  ::(:
