Indie-a-Day (002/365): Square Off

The xIndies feature "Indie-a-Day" will highlight a single Xbox Indie Game every day during 2011. Today's game is another twin stick shooter, but one that is known for its great multiplayer and co-op elements. Square Off is available on the Xbox Indie Marketplace for 80 MSP. 


When you first boot up Square Off, the graphics will capture your attention. Its great Behemoth-style cartoony art makes the game initially attractive. The single player mode is fun as you battle your square person against the alien hordes attacking. The variety of weapons as well as the art and animation contribute to this fun game. However, you really get your dollars worth when you add in a buddy or three. The couch co-op is a great time and, with the amount of alien enemies, the help is needed. The deathmatch mode is a fantastic time as well. Originally released at $3, Gnomic Studios have dropped the price to $1 and have released an update that adds three new levels and fixes the global scoreboards, making this game a fantastic buy for your 80 Microsoft Points. Check out the video below for some footage of Square Off in action. You can purchase or demo Square Off here
