SunBurst is a forthcoming commercial budget release from VOTI, authors of such great games as Super Foul Egg and TDT. The game is a 360° rotation game set in space and, you'll be glad to hear that a playable demo has just been released!

The demo has a time limit and only the first few missions from the full game but still it gives a very good impression of what the game will be like. I have played this demo extensivly myself and, in my opinion, it's quite a bit better than the much hallowed Elite.
