I was very impressed by what Fatbot Games did with Vaporum. It looked great with some wonderful design work, performed well and most importantly it was good fun. They also managed to get it performing really well after the last update. Based on that and the screenshots they've shared, I'm hopeful this will be just as good.

Some early screenshots:

Vaporum: Lockdown has a Steam page up already so you can wishlist/follow it right now.

Not played the original? You're missing out. Vaporum can be picked up from Humble Store, GOG and Steam.
