Jeff Minter's studio, Rama Soft, is releasing another strange shooter this month. The game is both exciting and extraordinarily strange. I'll let the game's official description tell you why: "A trippy and exhilarating voxel arcade shooter, specifically designed to take you to a happy, trance-out pleasure zone filled with deer and mushrooms. The trailer is excellent, and the jokes it contains are also excellent." While "Invincibull" is a good par, "Cervus with a smile" is absolute gold.

Moose Life is a classic arcade shooter with a great soundtrack. Like all of Jeff Minter and Llamasoft's work, the game is designed to evoke a trance-like flow experience while playing. You can even track your high scores; "Moose Life" is also available in a VR version. It's a good thing that the game is not a "trippy, psychedelic trance shooter," because nothing says "trippy, psychedelic trance shooter" quite like forgetting the entire world for a while.

Jeff Minter is a longtime luminary who has been involved in game development since 1981 and is best known for his various shooters, especially the classic "Tempest" and its sequels. He is especially a fan of Attack of the Mutant Camels.

Moose Life will be released on Steam on August 12.
