"Lightfield" started when its developers decided to try something new. Matthias' (one of the members of the team) first inspiration was a classic game, Slipstream 500 and because of that, the team wanted to create a new game with a mixture of racing and flying with a twist of futurism.

So basically players can attach their ship to any surface in the game's environment. The game's debut will include seven tracks and four different environments, Destructoid reports. It's part strategic and all Tron-like Technicolor so a player will eventually enjoy the colorful world of the game.
