I cannot say enough positive stuff about this game. First, it’s an Xbox Live Arcade game. Second, it only cost 800 Microsoft points (roughly $10). Third, it’s the most fun I’ve had in a long, long time with a video game. I don’t mean it’s the best game I’ve played, no, nor am I saying it’s the most well-rounded game, or the best graphics, or the best sound or story or dot dot dot. No, I’m saying I haven’t had this kind of fun in a long time.

And I feel kind of slimy for having three game reviews in three days, but this just needs to be written about.

Lewis & I downloaded it on a whim last night, and after playing 5 levels in the trial free game, I bought it. Quickly. Impulsively. And then we played until hours past my bedtime. I’m exhausted today.

The game play feels just like a Flash game, which is understandable since its original design was as a Flash game. A free one, even. These guys made this game, generated a huge interest in it, and they were asked to develop it for XBLA to the tune of lots of money, no doubt, so people like me can download it and play the game on the big screen rather than for free on the smaller computer screen.

Just go play the free version right now. And if you have Xbox Live Arcade, download it. And then buy it. And invite over friends to play together. Christ, what are you waiting for?!
