Accessible arena shooter
Squid Yes, Not So Octopus floats onto the Xbox
360
After a triumphant turn at this
years Eurogamer Expo courtesy of the Pixel-Lab
Indie Arcade, the chaps of Bagfull Of Wrong have
brought their own brand of cephalopod madness
onto the Xbox 360 with Squid Yes, Not So
Octopus: 360, a tripped out bananas arena
shooter with more than a wiff of hairy beast to
it.
With only 8 minutes to save the Earth from
destruction, guide SYNSO The Squid with his
laser beams of epic destruction around a series
of strangely familiar arenas enjoying the light
show as you go, causing chaos, carnage and
destruction in your wake. With a maximum score
of 9 to earn, SYNSO:360 will keep you on your
toes and dazzle your eyes with its pretty
lights.
Unusually for such a fast paced title, Squid
Yes, Not So Octopus: 360 comes complete with a
number of optional gamer assists to help
encourage the take up of accessibility features
in games. With an easily activated one switch
mode based on William Pilgrim's 4Noah software,
players can enjoy SYNSO:360 with a single
button. Practice mode enables the player to
switch off enemy collisions, a first in a
commercial arena shooter and with modifiable
effects and audio settings too, Bagfull Of Wrong
are proud to set a baseline for other developers
to work from.
Squid Yes, Not So Octopus 360 is available to
download right away from the Xbox Live Indie
Games Service and costs 80 Points.
