Anybody else try this? It's a recent xbla release. I enjoy retro platformers so I was intrigued by it.
Apparently it was freeware on pc a while back. It seems deceptively easy at first glance, but this game can be brutally difficult. Tiki traps and spiked floors make me want to kick puppies.
And since this isn't about NCAA, cod, bf3, or halo 2, I expect it to be buried in five minutes.

Well, your crap thread title ensured everyone would at least read it. Props.

Based on Wiki...
Might check it out. It says it is an indie game so what are they? 80 pts or so?
quote:
IGN gave the XBLA version a score of 9.0 and an Editor's Choice award, calling it "a superb 2D platformer that's as easy to hate as it is to love."[6] GamesRadar gave the game 5/5, praising its gameplay and constant sense of discovery.[7] GameTrailers gave the game a score of 8.3, praising its design but criticising some control quirks and throwaway multiplayer.[8] 1UP.com gave the game an A ranking, saying "it offers the same immediate, pick-up-and-play fun of Geometry Wars, but demands much more than the simple reflexive reactions of your lizard brain."[9]

It's still free but it looks much better on Xbox than PC

The original game was released on PC in 2008 and is available to play for free. Since then, Andy Hull and I have been working on this new version for XBLA.
It's much more than a port of the original game, and has new graphics, music, zones, monsters, items, traps, and secrets. The controls are much smoother, too, and designed specifically for the gamepad.
I played it a few times after seeing some people on Youtube play it.
