Ghost ride the rover: Coin App's Max Blastronaut

This one had been off my radar until it got big ups by the Flashbang/Blurst boys earlier today: Indie dev Coin App's debut PC game Max Blastronaut looks like it's going in the same Mario Galaxy-cum-arena-shooter direction as Beatnik's excellent Plain Sight. Coin App describes it thusly:

Play in 1 or 2 player as you take on the invading Dredge Faction using any and all methods available: melee combat, vehicle combat, and shooting over-the-shoulder from orbit. Use planetary gravity to your advantage as you toss melee weapons, shoot missiles around orbit, or even “ghostride” a variety of 2-passenger vehicles into enemies. Travel over 24 worlds spanning six galaxies to defend the universe from the Dredge miners and their industrial mechanized Bosses.

Bonus points, I think, for actually designing an in-game 'ghostriding' technique: I eagerly await more.

It looks like it would be more fun playing on an old 80s stand up arcade console. It has that Tempest-esque fast pace and slidey-roundey trackballey thing going on.
