I agree about the developers. If you look closely, their art department likes drawing… “questionable” stuff. Not just in this game, but in other games from Mommy’s Best. I don’t like the art style at all, because of the visual implications of such gross material. Their games almost make me want to permanently abstain from sexual activity. XD

But it’s an above average Indie Game. I thought you’d like it more than the review suggested, Kairi. And IMO, Radiant Silvergun’s price is justified. I only got to play this game ONCE in my life before the XBLA release, because someone else shelled out $80 for the game, and was lucky enough to have an old Saturn to boot! The stars were in proper alignment when I got to play that game. A real treasure.(no pun intended!)

The art faithfully reproduces the late 80s / early 90s arcade shooter style of ‘a bunch of random techo-organic stuff with a somewhat limited colour palette’. Whether this is a good thing depends on how much of a retro hankering you have when you play it.

In reply to Kairi Vice. Looking forward to it. I have my eye on Dungeon Defenders.

In reply to A man who is holding a cup of tea. I actually didn't buy Leave Home yet, but I might if the XBLIG slowdown continues. I'm also doing my first XBLA review this week, for Dungeon Defenders.

For once, I agree with you. Shoot 1 Up left me with the feeling that its developers believe it’s much better than it really is.

I’m curious as to what you thought of Leave Home, since you mentioned that too. I bought it recently and have opinions.
