Sounds like TaleSpin, only better, right? It is. Sine Mora is a bullet hell shmup with a few unique gameplay mechanics that makes it stand out from the rapidly-expanding 2D shooter pack, and is one of the more refreshing genre entries.

Developers and publishers from around the globe will be in attendance to promote recently released and upcoming games, but also give gamers the chance to play them and walk away with mountains of free merchandise. Rounding out the cultural aspect of the show are musical performances from nerdcore and chiptune artists, panels where important gaming personnel speak upon important geek topics, table top gaming, costumed convention goers, and more.
