  • Blue Thunder28

    Looks interesting.

  • Kyaizen

    It’s very good to see a title that comes into the Arcade at 400MSP. Seeing every game being introduced at 1200MSP is a trend I don’t like seeing. More like this and I’ll continue supporting them!

  • Olimite

    At 400 points AND 60% going to charidee, nice work. Definite purchase!

  • L0rN

    Bought the full game straight away. So you guys at MS can see, that this pricepoint and the charity Aspect is reason enough to download this game. And by the way, it looked really good from what i could see in the trailer.

  • M1chl

    Buying for supporting charity and for loving musim from Markus Schulz : )

  • L0rN

    lol, you get 50GS right at the beginning of the game for “making the world a better place” ;)
    I love this game, before i even played it.

  • L0rN

    Ok, this is EXACTLY the game i was waiting for. It`s pure AWESOMNEZZZZ. ;)

  • GamingTailor

    Good price and great cause. Going to download this pretty soon.

  • Anonymous

    A MUST HAVE

  • Euphoric Fusion

    It’s a good game for a good price but I can’t understand why the download is so big when there is only 5 songs.

  • L0rN

    Shame on you MS. I just read, that 30 Percent go to the Provider (MS). And the Company who made the programme just keeps 20 Percent out of the missing 70 Percent.
    I really don`t understand why you charge money for something (servers) we (goldmembers) already pay. This is just ridiciolous. And in a case like this (charity) it is just greedy and evil. ;)

  • wiirule111

    I will buy this one now. Big download size for such a simple game.

  • kingbet123

    I will be downloading as well. It’s all about Orbital. :)

  • Euphoric Fusion

    @Kingbet
    It’s all about Markus Shultz! That tune is so hypnotic. Play it in free mode when you unlock it and just place some shapes randomly and let it loop ;-)

  • xK1

    Are you sure it’s in all regions? I’ve been checking the Japanese marketplace over and over since last night, and there are no new arcade games this week. Unfortunate for me since this is the first XBLA title in awhile that I was planning to get. :(

  • rastansaga

    might be for a worthy cause – and has an Orbtial track, but i didn’t find the game to be much fun.

  • MACPH1ST0

    Pretty fun little casual game if you’re looking for something simple and relaxing to chill out with between hardcore gaming sessions. Great music too, even if it only has 5 tracks. And of course the low price and charity donations make it all that much more appealing too! Maybe it will get some more boards and tracks as DLC in the future? I’d definitely be willing to get DLC for this game, especially if the part of the cost of it went to charity donations too.

  • Blue Thunder28

    I love this game!

  • WhiskyBR

    Haven’t I played this game before? Wasn’t it Lumines?

    I can’t believe I dropped 400 points on this just to hear the music.
