Apparently it was freeware on pc a while back.


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.

Yeah, there was a graphical upgrade.

And I never played the original, but apparently there are some new areas and gameplay tweaks as well.

They also added in a multiplayer. Local only unfortunately, which means I'll never play it. Based off a few videos I've seen, playing with four people is a chaotic mess.

Chaos is a good way to describe the gameplay in general. I can be having a hell of a game and shite goes sideways in about .3 seconds. Adds to the excitement when you do well, but it's like a punch to the gut when you kick off a chain reaction that leads to your death.
