Sony brings indie game, Everyday Shooter, to PSN

Everyday Shooter made a big impression at GDC earlier this year. Winner of the Game Design Innovation award from the Game Developer's Choice Awards, Everyday Shooter took a unique approach to the dual-sticked shooter genre. N'Gai from Newsweek reports that the indie title will appear on the PlayStation Network in 1080p, at 60fps. "It didn't take us long to realize that we were playing something special. After five minutes, we were hooked; after an hour, we had to tear ourselves away to meet up with some fellow journalists for drinks."

The game focuses on creating chain explosions. Each enemy explodes in a unique note or riff, based on a musical theme. The experience is seemingly nothing less than a cacophony of chaos. The synesthetic approach will certainly appeal to fans of Mizuguchi titles, such as Rez and Lumines. Although the game takes a more musical approach, we're wondering if games like Super Stardust HD haven't already satiated the average gamer's appetite for an everyday shooter.
