Shootmania Storm trailer simultaneously touts the game and its editing tools [update: beta registrations open]

Nadeo's Shootmania Storm is part of the "ManiaPlanet" series – basically, it's like Trackmania, but a shooter. That means an emphasis on a powerful, easy-to-use editor, which is evidently powerful enough to create every shot in this trailer.

As for the game itself, the trailer presents a high-speed, arcade-style shooter that substitutes lasers and a cool disintegration effect for bullets and blood, in order to achieve a 12+ rating (and a fun atmosphere) – because making a human body disappear entirely is fine, of course.

Update: Beta registrations are now open.
