Puzzle & Trivia
Nicely Polished1 of 1 people found the following review helpful
Rotor'scope is a puzzle game where you are tasked with matching colored blocks to clear them from the board. Unlike many block based matching puzzle games you do not move the blocks and the board is not covered with them. Instead there are just a few blocks on the board and you have the ability to rotate and flick the entire playing area. Gravity alone can move the blocks. Because of this rotation based mechanic, the game tests both your logic and spatial recognition. Other

This one caught me by surprise. The colorful cute graphics made it seem like I would not be interested but it is really quire fun. Shooter

This game is a blast if you love Space Invader's style of play. The power-ups and onslaught of enemy attacks make it a blast to play. The controls are spot on and the 4 player local co-op is great. The graphics are simple but you don't need anything fancy for this style of game. Shooter

Pretty average 2 stick shooter all around. Fun for a while but there are better ones out there. Card & Board

Fun game to use my drum controller with. The strategy elements keep it from getting too repetitive. Shooter
Keeps you coming back0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
I like the combination of the simple mechanics with buying more powerful weapons. Plus the graphics are amazing. With the continue option I'll be coming back to play for 15 or 20 minutes between other stuff all the time. Platformer

These guys keep putting out great work on XBLIG. Well done platformer with lots of polish and style. Shooter
Emuholic's Right0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
I tried it after reading Emuholic's review and he's right. This game is really fun and nicely made. The Claymation style is really well done and the controls are smooth. Doesn't get better than that in a shooter. Shooter
fun in concept0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
I like the idea of having different attacks that are better for different enemies, but I found it hard to tell in this which ones were actually more effective. I think this is because everything on the screen is so small. Puzzle & Trivia

Maybe I should not have played when I was tired but I found it very confusing what you were suppose to do. Even how to get started. I did not find any instructions or info as to what the goal of the game is. I gave up after the demo expired and never went back. Platformer
Great Sequel!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
Even though I stink at platformers I still love this one. It improves on the original Johnny Platform without changing too much. Very well made. Puzzle & Trivia

Ok graphics, but otherwise I did not really think it was anything special. Worth trying if you like this kind of shooter. Shooter

I found the game interesting at first but quickly got bored. I like the simple controls and my son will probably dig the game. Action & Adventure
Great style0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
Really nice graphic style and I like the progression of abilities as you get higher and higher kill counts. The only thing I can think to really make it better would be Global High Score leaderboards. Shooter
Simple but nice0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
Simple controls wiht really sweet graphics. It is kind of short, but worth checking out because it adjusts to how you play. Puzzle & Trivia
uuhhhh....0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
Graphically it is ok, but there are no instructions on how to play. Plus no options for controlling the speed of the questions, the number of questions per game, or the volume of the repeating music. Plus the demo is 5 questions per game. Could have been good if they took time to give it some professional setup instead of giving the gamer no control over the setup. Shooter
Interesting0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
It is interesting o play a "shooter" where you don't have to actually do the shooting. You pick which gun and power-up and the game shoots at the enemy who is in range based on that. You just use one thumb stick to move and the the buttons to pick your special. Overall it is a pretty fun game but after a while there is so much blood and guts on the screen that you can't tell what is going on. Still, I would recommend giving it a try because it is fun and the 4 power-ups are each unique and different. Puzzle & Trivia
Bouncy tetris ...0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
This is sort of a mix of a bouncy tetris and match 3 play. It is pretty nice, but I found it took no skill. I just let the screen get mostly full and then activated the unfreeze option. This would give me a big combo and refill the Unfreeze bar. Repeat. Classics

Great game!3 of 3 people found the following review helpful
For $1 this game has tremendous replay value. With multiple difficulty settings and co-op support it is a ton of fun to try and beat your high scores and play through perfectly. Sports
Too Fast1 of 1 people found the following review helpful
Maybe I suck but the game play is way to fast for me. When I can keep up with the opponents it is pretty fun, and graphically it looks like a nice update. Puzzle and Word
Decent action puzzler0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
Pretty decent game with a nice rhythm twist, but the visuals were really annoying to me. Puzzle & Trivia
Fun but repetative0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
I found this game nicely polished and a pretty fun and unique, at least to me, concept. But, I can only play it in short increments before it became just me going through the motions of move, rotate, repeat. If you like action puzzle games though it is worth trying out. Plus online leaderboards are a welcome addition. Puzzle & Trivia
Not impressed0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
The only thing this does is give you a couple letters and then use the controller as a vibrating timer. The game would work just fine with any timer from a board game and a little imagination. Platformer
Hand Drawn Art0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
Sweet art style here. The hand drawn art is really fun and the background music is nice but very repetitive. Family
Simon Says0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
If you are looking for a Simon style game this one is pretty good but it gets hard very quickly. Especially since you have to use the whole controller. Family
Kids game0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
For kids this game is great, but for anyone else it gets very easy and repetitive. Shooter
Trial Sucks but0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
The trial is way to short for each song so you can't really a feel for how it will pan out in the full game. Platformer
Nice but hard to time1 of 2 people found the following review helpful
I love the graphical style and the simple controls, but I'm finding it really hard to time the slides correctly so that I don't wind up dead. That might have more to do with me sucking at platformers than the game but since it just throws you in with no training I can't tell. Shooter
Nicely Done1 of 1 people found the following review helpful
This is a nicely done two stick shooter. The variety of game modes is really nice. The game has a nice look and feel to it. They try to offset not having achievements with in game awards which is a nice touch. Strategy & Simulation
Great game3 of 3 people found the following review helpful
The single player is sweet but for me the game really shines in co-op and verses modes. Music

Not worth buying. There are plenty of drinking games that don't require your 360 be turned on. Platformer
Short but ...0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
... still well worth playing. The game has a great atmosphere and while the jumping can be a bit finicky the overall game is really well done. Puzzle & Trivia
Great Game!1 of 3 people found the following review helpful
Arkedo has made another great game. Where JUMP was a take in the classic platformer this is a take on a match 4 game. Sports & Recreation
Nice graphics but0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
Nice graphics but I found it very hard to actually hit the ball back over the net. 2 on 2 over Live could be really fun but I'd have to figure out how to control it first. Maybe a tutorial would help with that. Shooter
Title is right0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
... this game was boring. With all the great 2 stick shooters there is no reason to get this one. Nothing really that special to set it apart. Puzzle & Trivia
Needs Tutorial0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
In addition to needing a tutorial really badly the font used for the game is really generic and doesn't fit the art style that well. Also, the load times are really long. Sports & Recreation
looks better in screenshots0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
The screenshot looks pretty cool but the actual game is not that great. The font seems out of place and the font colors are grating at times. The game is easy enough to play but it seems like it could have used more polish in pretty much every area. The power meter seems like it goes way to high mini golf. The music seems like a poor choice as it is annoying very quickly. Shooter
Pretty Fun0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
This game is pretty fun and for me quite difficult to not keep running into enemies and dying. Puzzle and Word
Clunky menus ...0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
The clunky menus should have been a sign for me that they did not put the level of polish into this version of Bust-a-Move that I was hoping for. Platformer
Great!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
Really sweet 8-bit graphics and solid mechanics. Well worth playing. Just be sure to save as many hearts as you can because once you die and have 0 lives you have to restart at the beginning. Puzzle & Trivia
Uuhhhhh...0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
Since this style of puzzle game has been done many times it is hard to judge it on the actual puzzles since they are ones you've probably seen before it you like this type of game. Shooter
Not great1 of 2 people found the following review helpful
If I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES!!!1 was made into an Arcade game this is pretty close to what I though it would be, but it is jus tnot that good. Very repetitive and nothing really spectacular. 4 player co-op is a nice touch, but I'd recommend just spending the $1 on I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES!!!1 instead. Action & Adventure
What XBLIG was made for!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful
Priced at just $1 it is games like this that Xbox Live Indie Games was made for. With great graphics, simple controls, and a relaxed playing style there is nothing I can think of that they could add to make Fishing Girl any better. Puzzle & Trivia

It would be nice if there were instructions or a tutorial. Or even a controller layout picture.
