Question
I remember playing this game sometime between 2003 and 2006.
It was a top-down shmup (shoot-em-up) game with full 3D graphics.
I think it had some camera settings, so the camera could position itself in an angle, instead of straight top-down (not very sure about this camera setting; but it certainly had a straight top-down view).
The level where the game was played had some kind of "platform". It was not just a ship floating freely on space, it was "hovering" on a limited platform (that was slightly bigger than the screen, as far as I remember).
The level included in the demo had an awesome yellow robotic spider that would open its body to shoot a powerful laser. Sometimes the spider would also jump up and land at the platform again (and if your ship was below it, too bad for you).
Due to the limited platform thing where the game was played, the player ship could switch sides, so it could either be shooting to the right or to the left.
I slightly remember having two types of ships, or two types of weapons, but I'm really not sure about this. It might be wrong.
I remember it had a Linux demo, and that was the version I played.
I remember it came with one of the first versions of "Kurumin Games" live-CD, which also came with Quake 3 Demo. (yeah, I've already looked at the list of games from Kurumin Games 1.3, but it doesn't seem to be any of those games - it probably was from an earlier release of Kurumin Games)
I played it on a Pentium III 800MHz with 256MB of RAM and nVidia RivaTNT2 video card, and it had great graphics for that time.
This Astro Tripper screenshot is very similar to how the game I am looking for was played. But Astro Tripper is not the game.
Answer
It was Space Tripper?
