Thanks Anonymous. This interview most likely is the first interesting feature IGN has had this year. In fact, scratch that. This interview most likely is the first interesting feature IGN has ever had.
Will check out the game later. Also, the modified title screen pic posted earlier looked hilarious.

Updated with refined graphical style. Not that it makes the game much better :P

Some colorcombinations made my eyes burn because of the low contrast. Would be better if there are only ones with a high contrast if these colorschemes weren't with intend.

I'll have to second that sentiment. While I especially like the dynamic nature of the different color palettes used and how they merge into one another, many of them regrettably hurt your eyes pretty bad. Due to this the original version possesses more appeal in my opinion.
The game stands quite well for itself although and reminded me somewhat of an ultra psyched out "H.E.R.O.".

What's up with the name on this entry? I just checked cactus-soft and it looks like the name's still "Space Fuck!".

haha, this is genius.
Truly deserving of it's name I say.
The space shooting bit was hard though.
