Full disclosure: I’m a small part of the team that brought this game to the 360, and I have to say, it’s nice that it’s finally out!
It’s a 2d action/puzzle platformer with a tiny ninja and physics-based controls – the graphics are pretty minimal, but the gameplay itself is great (okay, maybe I’m a tiny bit biased ). It does get frustratingly difficult at times, but it’s supposed to be about building your skills and the satisfaction of finally beating the bastard levels that nearly cause you to rip out all your hair. Heh.
Has anyone tried Co-op multiplayer? Interested in a match?
I played the demo and loved it. I had played it on PC briefly, but I’ll probably shell out for the XBLA for comfy couch play. My wife was watching me play through and liked the look of it too, so I’ll probably even double dip when the DS version comes out.
Multiplayer is both online and local. I find it much more fun to play locally, but then I haven’t tried Live with voice chat, which is apparently occasionally really useful. Sometimes you really need to communicate with your team, even if it’s just to tell them they now have to kill themselves, to restart the level, 'cause you died and that makes completing the level impossible.
I’ve tried Dishwasher and Jelly Car (XNA games) – very fun!
I love N+, but everytime I try to get a multiplayer game going it says no games found. But then I haven’t delved very far into the singleplayer yet, and its already hard as hell. Maybe my platform skillz are wasting away after too much Culdcept.
I think everyone should – maybe in some games (say, Uno) it wouldn’t be as helpful or entertaining, but it couldn’t hurt, either. It’s just a good idea.
