ZPF Demo is Out (store.steampowered.com)

The ZPF demo recently came out. I like the overall theme of the game and the artwork but I found the color to be a bit much. There wasn't enough contrast for me to tell where the bullets were or what my hitbox was like. Have any of you tried it yet?

Downloading this now! I'll back in check in after I've had some time with it.

UPDATE: So, my quick take on it: game play is pretty decent, but I agree about the colors -- those backgrounds need to be dimmed, or de-saturated or something. Maybe it's because I'm blue/green colorblind, but the blue/green enemy bullets got lost in stages with trees in the background.
