Hi!
Postmortem: http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/EloyRibera/20100113/3072/Indie_Postmortem_Dual_Zone.php

I'm from Ninja Fever  , a new independent game development studio. We released Dual Zone, our first video game, on December and it's now available on Xbox Live Indie Games at 240 MSP. We have just released an update with some usability improvements.

The core team for the game has been one programmer and one artist, developing the game from scratch and also learning XNA/C# on the way, in 2 and a half months.

We want to continue spreading the word, so here we are  

We are searching for your feedback & feelings. The game has received some good reviews, but unfortunately it's not selling the way we desired , so we want to hear the voice of the user (because we are developing games for you!). We are preparing a postmortem, but we want to hear different opinions at first.

If you have the chance, please try the demo and post your opinion. It will be really appreciated!

Dual Zone trailer:

Some screenshots of the game, hope you like them!




We will be glad to answer any of your questions (if you have any!). We are a studio that want to always stay in touch with the user, let us now your feelings about the game  .

You can find Dual Zone on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

I haven't tried the game, so I wouldn't know

but it seems that the trailer tells me nothing about the gameplay :/ or maybe I didn't understand it

It seems you are right: a lot of people have complained about the trailer not being the best one possible. Trailer features gameplay, but fails explaining it in a proper way.

You have to control two spaceships, red and blue (only one if you are playing coop mode). If you collide one ship with the other (or its particle trail) you lose one life. Also, your mission is to clear the arena from enemies. To achieve that, red spaceship has to collide with red enemies (you can use also your particle tail), and blue spaceship has to do the same with blue enemies.

The games has simple gameplay, but it's really challenging as levels increase. It also features a "Panic mode", with a kind of time attack gameplay, playable also in solo & coop modes.
