X during gameplay will toggle a shuriken move around the room to show you a possible solution/path to all of the gold pieces. A hint/solution display, basically.
I thiiiink X is showing you a ghost of your best time.
I've finished the first 19 levels with silver times or better so far, trying to silver as I go along. It's amazing how taking the
obvious perfect route through the level earns you a silver, but then you can see a more efficient route that you had no idea could exist that shaves another second off.

Rotor is difficult to control but that's the goal of the game. There are no other helicopters to take down, only challenges. It takes time to learn how to make a perfect trip without bumping everywhere, just like with those (Picooz) helicopter toys.
I thought the controls were alright, actually. In a "difficult to control but about 1,000,000 times easier than all the other RC helicopter games on XBLIGs." It's still slightly awkward and takes some getting used to, but it's massively simplified compared to those games that have five different controls on every button and you need five hands and two brains to take off. It looks awesome, but the rest of the game is kinda, simple? There's not really enough to it, there's only a few kinds of challenges and while it's fun flying around, there's not enough to do.
Trivia or Die just came out, from Fun Infused. It's easily the best quiz show game on the service, I think, purely down to the speed it goes at. There's questions every few seconds, unlike the Quizcall games where it takes AGES to load between questions. Speed is where it's at. It's quite funny too, getting questions wrong results in abuse. Unfortunately, I'm not really sure it's for me, I came across a few questions about American universities, and there's a question about US presidents in the trailer. Being from the UK, it's not the kind of knowledge I've ever needed or had!
Ninja Stole My Bike is playable, kind of fun, but offers literally no challenge at all.
Frog SPLAT! is a game where you jump around and try to bounce on other frogs heads to score points, up to four players can get it on. It's alright, or at least will be with some people to play against. Special mention to the background and changing seasons which is a really nice effect.
Project Gert: Moonbreaker is one of those games like Tiki Totems or Tumbledrop on the iPhone. You have a piece at the top on a stack of other pieces, and you have to remove the pieces one by one to make the piece at the top rest on the platform at the bottom. The physics are all wrong. First, the set-up collapses without any input from the player so there's no time to think, and second, they just feel wrong. Sometimes you'll make the piece you need fall to the bottom and then it'll just slowly drift off the side. Really slowly. Nice scoring mechanic though, you get bonus points for every piece you didn't destroy. Nice production too, loads of VA and nice art. Ultimately though, it doesn't feel like it works.
EDIT: Actually, it feels kinda stupid criticising Trivia or Die because I don't know the answers to some questions.
