Rumble Massage hits community games



So I decided to make a simple xbox game that lets you use the rumble feature of the xbox controller as a neck massager. It didn't take very long to make, but its making quite a stir on the internet. Simply google "Rumble Massage" to find out what I mean.

So far, its been featured under Community Games Most Popular, been front paged by Microsoft on the community games tab, and has been in the top 30 games sold for all of arcade and community games for the last few weeks.

Also G4tv had a porn star review it! And had an "Exclusive Interview" with me.

Pretty crazy for such a simple game

Here are some links with articles about it.

Torino-X


ZXB's first Xbox Release "Torino-X" is finally online

Its for purchase through the X-box live Community Games Section for 200 points ($2.50)

I'm really happy with how the game turned out, but am mad about the 4 minute limit on the demo, it really doesn't give a good representation of the full game. It takes a little time to figure out how to fly the ship and use the interface (with the exception of being able to break it flys like a ship would in space (you have a constant velocity unless you accelerate in a particular direction))

If you like space fighting games like X-Wing and Tie-Figher and tower defense games like any flash tower defense game, give it a shot, the later levels are intense and really really hard (but its a fair game), I just finally managed to beat the (and wrote it!)

If you're hesitant about buying it, I would totally go for it, its like 2 bucks and actually is a lot of fun.

Also- if anyone has any game or project ideas I am always open to suggestions.

So buy it!
