Twice the awesome for a retail title at 1/60th the price.

An excellent twin-stick shooter came out a few years back, a little before you couldn’t throw a rock without hitting five games that wish they were half as great as Geometry Wars.  Bullet Candy was a ton of fun, filled with lovely explosions and perfectly tuned fast-paced shooting.  Now, in anticipation of Bullet Candy 2 coming out soon-ish, the original has received an update with the new graphics engine, and is available at a bargain price, too.

The $1 price tag is actually a bit misleading, because that’s just the minimum you can pay.  The price is actually what you feel the game is worth, with $1 being the minimum.  I own the original and wouldn’t mind giving it a replay with a graphic tune-up, so I paid $5.   It’s only fair.

There’s a free demo and full game download here.
