Xbox 360 Indie games

Weird. I can unlock the levels again if I get a perfect score on a level I haven't perfected yet and then continue, but if I complete a level without getting 100% they lock up again. This is spoiling an otherwise lovely experience! Ah well, at least I know I can finish it somehow...

Quadruple post!

Ok, I think this is a normal behaviour.
You have 3 "jokers" : you can only unlock new levels only if the number of your non-100&#37; levels are <= 3.
I am working on a patch now, and by the way i'll make this more clear.

Too bad it passed the validation so quickly.
Be certain that you'll get a fully working game soon.

It is working OK, then. Just doesn't make the "joker" system clear. Hopefully the update should clear that up

BUY NOW!

There are a few good games up now

Halfbrick Echoes is worth a shot - 200 pts

and

Orbyx (peggle with a touch of arkanoid on some levels) - 400 pts

couple of sites I'd check out too

Orbyx is terrible. Terrible.

[qupe]

Orbyx is terrible. Terrible.

I don't think it's too bad. Maybe a marmite game.

[toythatkills]

Nah, it's terrible

The graphics are a mess, and it's really difficult to play because the aiming takes so long to get sorted. Peggle works because it's so fast, and it's always instantly obvious where abouts you're going to hit a peg. Orbyx does not work well at all, the aiming system is clumsy, and having to press "X" before every single shot, after every single adjustment, just slows the game down to a crawl. And frankly, though maybe Popcap deserve it, the utterly shameless rip-offs of little Peggle touches are disgusting. The slow-down when you approach the final peg, the "triumphant" music when you hit it (which is no "Ode to Joy")...

There is no way in which this game is better than Peggle. Shameless.

It's certainly not better than Peggle and is a blatant clone. I just kinda got used to the controls, they are not too bad. Wonder though if Popcap may complain about it.

Halfbrick Echoes tho is not bad.

Have you tried Clover yet? Is that any good?

[toythatkills]

I'll give HE a shot later

There's a first play thread for Clover

[qupe]

Can everyone try Pocoro please? I just did, and it bills itself as a relaxing puzzle game which it really is. It's quite lovely. I have to admit I judged it by its cover, it's the only Community Game that actually has one that looks like it was made by someone with talent. Try the demo, seriously. The music... It's like playing a dream.

If you got 200 Coke points, it's an ace way to spend them!

It's been pulled hasn't it???

Give Trino a go too.

[toythatkills]

It's been pulled hasn't it???

Yeah, there was a bug in one of the levels. It should be back in a day or two, hopefully, I want to play more of it!

Mommy's Best Games (people behind Weapons of Choice) have announced their new game for Holiday 2009 on XNA, looks just as cool and crazy.

Just bought Halfbricks Echoes on community game and im loving it, the idea is really cool and reminds me of older puzzle games from past.

Check it out

Been meaning to try out some community games but I've always found it tough to play which is the better titles. I don't really want to be spending most of my free time playing durge.

Today I tried out Artoon, Carneyvale, Clover, Jammer and Head Banger.

Carneyvale was by far the most enjoyable and is better than most XBLA games out there. Instantly bought it.

Headbanger was the most boring, really. Jammer was definitely the better of the two rhythm games I tried.

Couldnt get into clover, I guess my dream for a dizzy revival may actually be a nasty dream.

Rather sadly...noone cared. A great little game too.
