May I suggest:

"space-invader style arcade game"

I'm not sure about keeping "fast-paced" which probably should anyway
not come first. After all, this is generally subjective and that claim
may change over time while accepted standards change. We still have a
few games of the nineties in the archive which make interesting claims
such as "high speed" or "nice graphics" and would just seem like jokes
on 21st century machines or compared to 21st century games..:-)

thanks

Hi,

This is an automatic email to change the status of speed-game back from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 18 months.

If you are still interested in adopting speed-game, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 465334 ITP: speed-game -- A fast paced space-invader style arcade game
 owner 465334 !
 thanks

However, it is not recommended to keep ITP for a long time without acting on
the package, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to refrain from
packaging that software. It is also a good idea to document your progress on
this ITP from time to time, by mailing <465334@bugs.debian.org>.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,
