I bought JUMP! right as the screen popped up telling me to unlock to keep playing because, well, I wanted to keep playing. Played through till I died a few times, but I'm determined to come back and finish the whole thing soon. This may be exactly the kind of game I've been wanting from Indie Games, starting with having an art style. Looking forward to the next Arkedo series game.

Yeah I would of thought they had a official trailer but they didnt, thats why I made my not so professional one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ofl8nbFud9QRlan said:

And even i am moderately surprised
congratulations on Jump - played it last night and was very happy with it. Like InfectedZero, threw up a brief gameplay vid.
Love the game so far.

For 240 points, Jump was quite fun. I wished there was more to it, more difficult, and save points, but it was still a solid "B" indie title. Very satisfying.
Oh, and the music to the game kicked ass. Can you provide download for these? I especially like the final stage one

Hello guys,
Thanks a lot for the feedback, keep them coming
Sorry about us being quite slow on this one, it was indeed (much) faster than expected.
WhiteAce and InfectedZero, thanks for the video, you rock.
Our take on the trailer can be found here. We will upload a better version asap.
Back soon!
(We know we must answer a lot of questions asked here, will do today.
And we must start to push our game, now that it is live
Remember: French = LAZY)

No one tried SummerVacation?
Despite the japanese description, the game is available in english.
Graphics aren't anything special, but I think it's a great puzzle game
In the game you control a girl who has to pick up all the stars, while avoiding enemies by blocking their paths. You can also pickup things to build new ground on water, remove blocking rocks, and dig holes.
Only 80 points too.

Yup, we discovered this morning that JUMP! has just been taken down by Microsoft
Following the advice of the XNA community, we decided to change our name down the line, approx 6 days ago.
It looks like it has been seen as an attempt to hack the system (when you make changes to your project -most of the time it's for updates, you must wait 7 days before submitting again, which makes perfect sense).
The catch is... that we were told editing the name was an exception to the rule, and would not affect us, as the build was exactly the same.
We have been really careful about this, as you may imagine. It is our first XNA game. We wanted to play the game by the community rules, because the idea behind this is great. We are used to much stricter Lotcheck stuff, and the number of XNA rules is really small -nice!, so of course we looked at them veeeery carefully.
Hmm, not enough, it seems. We got a 7 days ban, and must start the reviewing process all over again.
We are looking into this: seeing JUMP! being taken down like this is a bit harsh.
We are no crooks!
Maybe it's just a misunderstanding. We'll see in the morning. For the moment everyone in the US is sleeping, gaming and/or having sex.
Sorry about this, guys. Back soon, hopefully!

:lol thats just amusing and silly at the same time, however, that gives you 7 days to start promoting your game
Kaiten Patissier is up. Cute Japanese game where you flip the screen to pick up food, get all of the ingredients and you beat the level. Made by the guys who did Summer Vacation and Green Island. Fun game, seems to have a decent amount of levels, worth the 80 points. Heh, I've bought all of their games so far, I really like this dev team!

Hey mates, I'm a XNA indie developer too (known as Running Pixel maker of bricks4ever and Crystal Crush - the first one was top seller for some weeks)
what happened to your wonderful game? I read you renamed the game, but... how hell is it possible? You can't rename anything during the peer review phase (if I recall).
Please tell me more about this.

If I have the demo still on my HDD, can I still buy the full version without any problem?.

Anso said:Just a quick notice that Indie Game and DBP'08 finalist Artoon has been taken off the service after a C&D letter from video game developer Artoon. Oscar's planning on adding a few levels, change the name and let it back on the service again. Don't hold your breath
Ugh. I noticed Welcome to Mexico was also removed. No idea why. Any other C&D'd community games titles?

Does that mean we who bought his game will get the updated version for free?
Brakara said:
I will look into that but I'm pretty sure you will, haven't talked to Oscar in a while since he's been busy with work and I'm not doing any additional music for the update. You probably will, I'll get back to you.
EDIT: Got a hold of him. There WILL be new content and all signs are pointing to people that bought Artoon will get it for free but it's ultimately a matter of how Microsoft solves it. Probably nothing to worry about though!

Ugh, that's awful news. Microsoft can be a pain to deal with sometimes but I wish you the best of luck. I'll be buying the game when it's back up!
Argh this sucks...I had a lot of fun playing the PC build.

Sorry to pimp this but just a reminder that there are less than 10 days left to submit games to our contest!
XNA is welcome, short demos are okay as well! We would like users to wrap their demos in a program such as http://www.codeplex.com/xnainstaller though.
Obviously you can get the game on XNA Indie yourself but we're interested in working on deals to bring them to other systems and/or XBLA proper
Also, you can just use it as a way to gain extra exposure and win some cash

Our community favorite in the last contest was built in XNA and will be rebuilt and for various consoles! Last year we had several finalists using XNA, some flash, some even with Game Maker!
PM me with any Q's so as not to clog up this thread
GAF, I'm in love with Slingstar.
There are no words. Try it and be relieved to only pay 80 points for such a fine piece of work.

So I went on to buy Ninja Bros but low and behold its also gone =(

Thanks man, we like the game quite a bit ourselves 0: )
Oscar talked to a Microsoft representative and it should be all good as soon as he finishes the update and.. well.. comes up with a new name.
Suggestions?
EDIT: Also, shit, forgot about 2BEE. I'm gonna get on the other guys from Morsel's asses about finishing a new, better build of Kaleidoscope (DBP '09 finalist) for 2BEE. The PC build didn't suffer from PAX builds unfortunate loading times either. I cry myself to sleep when I think about the PAX build..
Nabbed Jump last night, great great game.
I'm shocked there hasn't been any discussion in the media or even a official thread, one of the most fun, visually appealing and polished games on the Indies, could see it as a XBLA game.
Rated it five star.
I'll be updating the Indies Games That don't suck thread later this week if any one wants to get voting or suggesting.
I'll also search this thread for more GAF made games to put in the Op too.

Thanks a lot, Gowan007
(and everyone else...)
We are starting to build some hype about this game, the concept of putting a Series on Indie Games, and what it means for us. And we have a trailer to show, now!
TRAILER : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxlvAuJPtHI&fmt=18
You may grab a better quality file on our site (please rehost it after doing so) here : www.arkedo.com/media/JUMP_Trailer.wmv
Arkedo Series - 02 SWAP! should be sent for peer review soon. Goal is having it live before end of October.
Expect something completely different...
