You can fly around upside down (what does that even mean?) and you can flip and roll and do all sorts of cool aerial maneuvers.

Here it is:  https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B209xEE7EEixbHk4XzNfMUdzeDg&usp=sharing This is my first game a week game!

Also, it's probably only going to work at full screen at 1920x 1080 or higher, though you can test your luck with this. CUBE DEATH PRISON is a four player cooperative (or not) twin stick shooting game! Murder cubes in the CUBE DEATH PRISON. Collect microcubes to bolster your Numerical Cube Murder Indicator . Avoid cubes to sustain your cubelust! Circle strafe to morph your true einherjar form! CONTROLS: LEFT STICK TO APPLY TORQUE LONELY RIGHT STICK TO PERPETRATE CUBE VIOLENCE RIGHT TRIGGER TO CHARGE ADVANCED CUBE ARTILLERY LEFT TRIGGER TO EXTEND LASER APPENDAGE RIGHT SHOULDER TO CALCULATE GRAVITY LEFT SHOULDER TO UNCALCULATE UNGRAVITY START TO HA
