PomPom Games, creators of the Mutant Storm series on Xbox Live Arcade, have revealed their next title - Astro Tripper for the PlayStation Network..

Astro Tripper is an revitalized evolution of one of PomPom's first titles - Space Tripper, a game for the PC, Mac and Linux. While it's very difficult to find information of a game from 2001, it appeared to get quite good scores for the time.

Gameplay is simple. You are free to travel anywhere on the platform at anytime, but don’t fall off! Powerful Blue Lasers and Red Spread Lasers come equipped, so use both weapons tactically to get through tricky situations. Power up your weapons with power crystals dropped by destroyed enemies. Oh, did we mention the blasting absolutely anything that moves?

Enemies encountered are varied. Zippy UFOS. Fat Motherships. Tanks. Choppers. Slimy Slug creatures. Alien Insects. Aztec structures brimming with electricity. And of course, Big Bosses! 14 unique levels spread over 4 diverse worlds means there’s always something new just around the corner.

The game features 1080p graphics, online rankings, unlockable challenges and trophy support.
