I commend you, ShyGuy, for actually attempting to talk about games on this forum.

EDIT: The game gives me a bit of an F-Zero vibe. Speaking of which, from the trailers, Speed Racer looks like a total ripoff of F-Zero.

It's kinda cool how they procedurally generate a bunch of the art to keep the game's size down.

The procedural graphics idea reminds me of .kkreiger

Awesome graphics under 100k!

The ground part made me think Tempest. Now I'm thinking Torus Trooper (http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~cs8k-cyu/windows/tt_e.html).

Thats the kind of game I will for sure buy when it's ready. See I am loving Wii ware as much as VC now cuz it's so much easier to come up with smaller moneys for these games than for the big stuff.
