Prismatic Solid is an indie vertically-scrolling Shoot 'Em Up for the Xbox 360 from the indie developer of heloli. It was developed by Hayashi Yoichi (under the handle of "YO1 KOMORI"), a former Squaresoft programmer who also worked on Bushido Blade in 1997 and a little-known tube shooter titled iS - internal section for the original PlayStation back in 1999. Prismatic Solid shares similar aesthetics to iS - internal section as it features copious amounts of Sinister Geometry. The music for the game is also composed by Shinji Hosoe and ... Ayako Saso, hell yeah!
In Prismatic Solid, you take control of a green crystalline ship sporting a red, blue, and yellow options that offers your ship six different weapon formations. The gameplay itself is in the old-school style of Bullet Hell Shoot 'em Ups where you must play through the game start to finish, shoot down anything that isn't you, and collect several Power-Ups and a few 1-Ups along the way. Thankfully some of the game's Fake Difficulty has been averted by ship's options, which may shield your ship from certain doom, but remains challenging throughout the game. There's also Stars to earn along the way for performing certain feats, such as fully powering-up your ship or clearing a stage without getting hit.
