Do any of you lot have this? It's heaps fun!

I like the presentation and the gameplay is about as simple as it gets. I've only played it with the computer so far, which is a little frustrating because it often runs off and does its own thing and gets itself killed. Obviously made for co-op. Still fun though, plus it was built with XNA Studio Express!

I need to try out some co-op on LIVE.

If you've never seen it - basically you have an orange ship and a blue ship and all the enemies are either orange or blue and you smack into them to kill 'em. Simple, but it often requires cooperation and a bit of thought to protect your partner and to stay alive yourself in some interesting situations. There's also the usual assortment of power-ups 'n stuff.

If we wanna get a group buy going, I'm up for it... only reason I didn't drop 800 on this was because I didn't know anyone else who would get it.

I think it was released a couple weeks ago. There was talk back in March (well, not really talk - just me blabbering at nobody) about it being the first XNA Game Studio Express title to hit XBLA.

I guess 800 points is a bit rich but it does look pretty good IMO, and it also shows that managed code can cut it for arcade titles. If it does well we might see some interesting stuff come out of XNA in the future. Check out the XNA Creators Club website these days - very fancy looking. Wish I had the time to fiddle with some of that stuff.

Wow, great demo. 800 is a little steep, but I really like it, I'll probably cave.

So basically it's Ikaruga you can't play by yourself.
