UPDATE: PC version now available!

Screenshots (click to enlarge):

I took the (Canadian) Thanksgiving weekend to port B&B to the PC (lack of time was the primary reason why I hadn't done this sooner, honest ). Play and enjoy (or otherwise). If you do like it, and have a 360, and have some disposable income, please buy it on Xbox Live Indie Games. I am very poor

So, uh, I made a game. It's for Xbox Live Indie Games (EDIT: and the PC!). It costs a dollar (EDIT: or nothing, if you're a PC gamer and/or cheap!).

It's actually the finished version of a prototype I made for the Industry MiniLD a couple of months back. The idea is something like (Sokoban - Challenging Puzzles + Brutal Twitch Action) * Crazy Hallucinations^{Ham-fisted Socio-political Commentary} as, like, a metaphor for the god-awful experience of actually having a job (hah).

Just to forewarn: this is something of an "art game". Because it's about working, the focus is on repetition, memorization and extreme stress. It's quite difficult, especially once the acid kicks in. I would give it away if I could (EDIT: and am). Though there is something sort of ironic about charging for it, given the theme.

I usually get propaganda for free.

Any chance of getting the game on PC without making you richer?

[adam_smasher]

Commie.

I like OP's true capitalistic ideals. Look, he won't even share screenshots, that's the spirit!
Also: areyou sure this image is in thepublic domain?

[adam_smasher]

Yes.

I'll probably release a PC version one day.

Once the wads of early adopter cash stop rolling in

[adam_smasher]

(no but seriously give me money)

[bicilotti]

I bring you...

A sokoban ripoff!

I save the font, I always like Gill Sans.



Please let that stay on X-box (or generally away from me).

Hello, please don't be a dick.

[adam_smasher]

Is it okay if I bump this? Given the edit to the first post? I am trying to be ly about my self-promotion.

[deathtotheweird]

ugh how much I hate hate the xna installer. It almost made me not wanna play it, but this game looked very interesting and you didn't have to release it on the PC at all (especially for free) so I caved. I love Sokoban clones and I love art games...so sokoban + art game?? Sold.

One thing that frustrated me, is the time limit. I don't mind it, but I think you should give the player a time boost every time he completes a level. I like how you flip the levels, it kinda surprised/confused me.

Don't have an Xbox though, but I'll certainly pressure some friends into buying it

Yeah this guy's a real dick if he want to inflict that on the XBOX owners alone.

Hello, please don't be a dick.

I hope that's sarcasm in the purest form. Otherwise on your knees and apologize.
