Ubisoft's all-new 2D space shooter, Zeit², is now available for download from the Xbox Live Marketplace and Steam and will set you back 800 MS Points (AU$13) or AU$9.95 on Valve's platform.

Zeit² is a traditional side-scrolling, 2D, shoot’em up game that brings unprecedented elements to the game experience. Zeit²’s unique time travel feature has yet to be seen in this genre even after decades of great games.

The game looks to take an old-school foundation and build upon it with modern concepts and some outlandish plot developments, but most of all, it offers up a co-op experience and classic arcade fun.
