Internet game of the week: Polarity (Flash)

Ikaruga, once hailed as one of the hardest shooters ever, has a less aggravated cousin: Polarity (Stimunation Games). Gameplay is essentially the same as its Japanese relative. It's a top-down shooter with red and blue enemies. You control a ship that can switch between these two colors for both offensive and defensive advantages.

Polarity was in fact commissioned for Wrigley's Candystand website and advertises Eclipse gum.
God bless product placement.
