Rock Hippo Productions announces open beta testing of MicroVolts will begin this Thursday, offering the chance to experience this cartoon-styled multiplayer third-person shooter. The open beta will feature two maps and add a new Elimination game-type. Here's a new trailer from the game, and some new screenshots, and here's a bit on the game:

MicroVolts features fast paced, third person shooter action and pits players against each other in a secret battle that has been waged and going unnoticed right in our own backyard for years. No one knows for sure when or where the first toy declared war but rumor has it that the uprising began with four original limited edition figures, code named MicroVolts. Battle lines were drawn when Naomi, Knox, Pandora, and C.H.I.P.--the prototypes --were soon joined by an endless number of modified versions. Now, toy figures around the world are engaged in an all-out war for valuable battery resources and supremacy of the Micro World. All we can do now is stay out of their way and wait for a champion to be declared!
