Title: Shoot1UP
Cost: 80 MS Points (That's a dollar!)
Available now!
From developer Mommy's Best Games (Weapon of Choice), a.k.a. ex-Insomniac employee Nathan Fouts, Shoot1UP is a new vertical shoot 'em up that's hitting Xbox Live Indie Games this week.
Instead of the typical weapon upgrade/lives system, you collect 1UP orbs and add ships to your phalanx (reminiscent of Galaga), adding more firepower and affording you more damage to potentially take. When your ships are all destroyed, it's game over.
I've had a playable build of the game for about two days now on PC, and it's addictive as hell. I did a write-up on it here, for those interested in knowing a little more. Also visit the developer's blog for all the info on the scoring system.
