Stardust and Super Stardust are from bloodhouse, bloodhouse is mixed with terramarque (makers of elfmania) and the result is housemarque, team17 on stardust is just a name.
Darn, beat me to it.
It's a great game, no tunnel or thrust levels however

but it's cool anyway. It has a 3D mode if you have the screen for it, split screen multiplay etc. If your going to buy it then buy the package with all the add-ons, cheaper that way (and endless mode is a must).
Putty Squad on PSN soon too............ WOOHOO!
