London-based independent developer Beatnik Games announces beta signups for their first game, Plain Sight, which features bouncing robots killing each other with swords. What more do you want?
Plain Sight is a multiplayer arcade action title that features robots bouncing about a planetoid, killing each other in order to grow larger, get stronger, and most importantly - change color. Beatnik is now looking for players to participate in the beta for the title, due to kick off sometime before Christmas and continuing into January, leading up to the game's 2009 release.
“This is a call to anyone interested in annihilating robots with a sword whilst they bounce around a tiny planetoid, but also that wish to help a out a small developer to test their first title.” said studio head, Robin Lacey

It also gives you points.
Spoiler: You can’t keep the points until you kill yourself.
* Robots!
* Swords!!
* Explosions!!!
* Oh my!

About Beatnik Games
Plain Sight is developed by an independent game studio based in central London, called Beatnik games - a small team of six people working in a shoe box sized room with no air-conditioning.
“We’re lucky” says studio head Robin Lacey “our investors get no influence on our output, and we aren’t tied into any hellacious publishing contracts, which leaves us able to do what we love best - creating innovative and fun games for our fellow gamers to play… and drinking coffee.”
