I don't currently own a PS4, but I have to say that I have a hard time with the form factor of the Vita. I think maybe my hands are too big for it.

I look forward to being able to play the game on a big screen TV with regular sized game controllers.

Same here. I have small hands, and the right hand side of the controls are quite poorly designed. The right stick, speaker and buttons are all far too close together. The Select & Start buttons are crap too. I've enjoyed TxK a lot, but I don't think the Vita is it's natural home. It will be infinitely more enjoyable on a big screen.

It's rather lovely on a big screen / console controller :D

Haha, yeah, I've seen that. Looking great. Can't wait to play it on a 51" plasma. Is the Mac version going to be based on the enhanced version too?

Nah probably not, it'll be an interim fix prior to the exciting new thing :)

But it will work on a few different machines. Currently aiming for PS3 / Mac / Linux / Android (w controller) as a minimum. Considering XBONE, 360 and WiiU. The dev wouldn't be all that difficult BUT TRC etc can a be a pain.

Hoping for first releases sometime in August but it's been a tricky of late as it's just me and Jimaroid doing it and we've both got other things on our plate as well. Been a lot of fun tho so far though :)

What are the chances of it running on a mid 2010 Mac Mini? Also, are you gonna do online scores for the computer releases? I think a 360 port would be my most desired version as that's where I have most of my games installed, and it still has the best pad ever made.

Very cool. Had no idea it was you actually working on it when you mentioned a Mac version. Presumably it scales resolution nicely, you never think it's a handheld version?

So if you are aiming for all those platforms with the standard version, does TxK PS4 need a new name?

I have a couple of slightly older Macbook Airs if you ever want to know how it works on stuff without too much graphical grunt...

The video above led me to your earlier wireframe video, presumably an early work in progress. The style is quite cool!

Oh man, the wireframe version was really nice. Software rendered on Linux but still 60hz at HD rez :) It should be fine on an older air, I checked it on one I have at home and again, solid 60 :)

Sweet! Tempest 2000 on my 31" television, sitting on the rug about 6' in front, was the best "zone" gaming of my life.

You clearly missed the subtext of that (ie let me help test it... ;)!

Could you make it an easter egg?

Have the tracks been re-ordered in the mac vid? I'm sure mine wasn't before Space is Everything.
