Couple of short videos about it.
It's unclear what this game is supposed to be. "We wanted the game to be about depth, and color" doesn't really explain anything and the only gameplay shown is one ship flying around asteroids and planets shooting a laser at nothing.
So... more info coming soon hopefully.
The 'planned features' of this game are a must for it to sell well for the space gamer imo, I don't think just because it has Oculus Rift compatibility that this will be the main selling point. Has some promise so will be interesting to see what gets implemented.
