Anyone try this out yet?

I played the demo and really like it... finished the 1st puzzle completely in world 1.

I am thinking about buying it, but at 1,200 MS points ($15) I find the price a little steep for an arcade game.

I highly suggest to anyone with a 360 to try the game... can't say for sure whether it is worth 1200 points though, or why it is over the typical 800 point price tag of most other games though.

I bought it and am enjoying it, but I already feel really stupid. It's taking me forever to figure out the puzzles, and I'm only on World 3. The art style and music are very cool, and it's cool when I actually do figure out the puzzles. I would recommend people try it, too, definitely, especially if you're smarter than I am.

Relating to sound, the boss I just defeated provided a nice rumble. Fun.

I ended up buying the game afterall.

I beat world three with the exception of 2 puzzle pieces. I need to go back through and rethink my gameplan.

I guess I will move on to world 4 for a while...

well, I just beat world 4.. took a while to figure out how to get all the stinking puzzle pieces.

I still can't quite figure out how to get the 2 pieces I am missing for world 3.

I need to take a break from this game, it is making my head hurt!

Yeah, isn't it horrible? I still only have all of the pieces from World 2. I haven't had the patience to figure out any of the other worlds yet.

Yes world 4 was very tough.. had to think very hard... and when that didn't work I resorted to brute force and tried everything possible until something worked!

well i beat this game tonight.

I got all 60 puzzle pieces, but I do have to admit that i cheated twice... used a youtube walkthrough to get 2 pieces that were driving me crazy.

I feel a little guilty, but hey... 58 out of 60 ain't bad eh?

Not bad. I'll probably cheat more, though I'm really bad at playing my games lately, so who knows when I'll even get around to cheating. \:D So what game are you tackling next?
