feel sorry for those who were a little too late, I had the same problem
last year with uploads going awry :/
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, the game is a multiplayer top down shooter with lots of bullet dodging and crazy effects.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My main inspiration is the incredible freeware game &amp;quot;Liero&amp;quot;, so fans should notice a similar style of play - mixing fast paced low level aiming and bullet dodging with higher level positioning/standoffs and weapon tactics in a fully destructable environment :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each round is very short - maybe a couple of minutes max, and is a last
man standing dance of death in a spaced out arena with black holes,
procedural terrain, powerups and random game mutators to further spice
things up.
&lt;/p&gt;
Insane Game 3 is a great party game for 2-4 players, and is surprisingly addictive (I sent it to a guy just to make sure it worked the night of the deadline.&amp;nbsp; Later on I get a message saying they ended up playing &amp;gt;100 rounds with a flatmate - that&amp;#39;s over an hour solid in one session!).&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The controls have been kept as simple and familiar as possible (the two
analogue sticks a-la-geometry wars) to try and make it as easy to pick
up as possible, which still offering a lot to experienced players.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The video I made in the last 30 minutes that completely fails to show the gameplay is here: &lt;a href="http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?vid=ea24cb6f-2d80-44d9-a0b5-ac8f72a895a5"&gt;Insane Game 3 trailer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
