Ben and Jose from Reviews on the Run (www.reviewsontherun.com) have posted a review of Octopede on the Xbox 360 (XBLIG).

Prior to this review, an Octopede Xbox update was submitted to Microsoft for approval which should fix any interface or tutorial / text size issues relating to the console release. Other than to avoid the expense of buying larger fonts as Jose suggested, our excuse is that when Octopede was first designed it was initially only intended for PC release. When the game was ported to console we failed to realise the need to increase the text size for living room viewing as most testing was done at an office desk.
In regards to an online leader board, as stated in previous development articles and reviews, Xbox Live Indie Games marketplace do not accommodate for networking out of the box. As this was our first game we were unaware that there were sneaky workarounds for including this feature.
Despite the 4.0 score, Orbital Games are grateful to both Ben and Jose for taking the time to review Octopede. We hope the next update provides a smoother Xbox experience and fixes any problems you may have found in our game. We will let you know when it has been approved!
