The controls are simple, left stick to move, right stick to laser sword. The goal, simpler. Deflect and SLAM enemies outta' the screen. Keep going, don't stop! Wreck that score! Or just zen out and beat on lasers, whatever floats you boat.

Strikeout is a high octane, laser bat swinging survival game. As a heads ups, Strikeout can only be played using a Game Control Pad, like an Xbox 360 controller.

The game mixes eclectic visuals and kinetic gameplay. I was gunning for somewhere between Tron and Geometry Wars but I'd love to hear what you think of it, ill or otherwise.

I liked it! Colors were great, and gameplay was fun!

This is pretty! I remember Obi Wan on XBox used a similar sword swinging mechanic. Works well here! Very pretty game. My only criticism is the sound, although I like how the sword raises in pitch the more you swing it around. Overall good job!

I really wanted to play this but I don't have a gamepad. Art and screenshots look nice though.

Didn't read the instructions first, just tried to accomplish something with the arrow keys and lost. Don't have a controller, so I don't rate this one.

Interesting take on the 2-stick arena game. I found that the gameplay was fun at first, got challenging quickly, but then I didn't know where to take it from there -- it seemed like your options are limited and it needs something to bring out more depth.

This was so awesome! This was just neatly designed all the way. The controllers were great, and the sound design really hit the spot. Only need some good music to put on top! Awesome game!

It seems to me really good, but I don't have any pad at home. Frustration :/
