I played it yesterday, it really is completely unlike Gridrunner ++ but still a ton of fun. You kill things fast to get the scoring bonus up to 16x, and almost every wave comes with a larger enemy that kills the entire wave when you take it out. The problem is that, if you shoot the big guy without taking out the little ones first, your score multiplier will likely have shrunk to below 16x.
You've also got two options, and pushing the right stick in a direction places an option pointing that direction for several seconds. That means you can use the lines on the screen (projected entry path of the enemy waves) as a marker for where to dump an option, or just keep them beside the ship for better precision shooting.
So, yeah, completely unique game and one hell of a scoring challenge ahead.
