Xbox Live Indie Games Releases: August 15, 2010

XBLIG_Releases[While our XBLIG Thursday feature fights against the main issue of Xbox 360’s Indie Games channel–gaming brilliance being lost in a sea of medicore titles and cheap apps–as good as anything out there, there’s just too many total releases for us to try them all.

That being said, we can still highlight them on a daily basis, and perhaps posting these new titles will benefit both player and developer by allowing a connection to be made before the game floats on down the river and into the backlogs of the channel. Whether it be an all-time great, a one time play-through or a complete lemon; all will have their chance to speak. Here are today’s releases.]

Circa (80 MS Points)
“Circa is a game that takes the best ideas of Geometry Wars and Rock Band and fuses them into an explosion of fun. In Circa less always means more.”

Happy Jump (80 MS Points)
“Have you ever played classic iPhone games such as Doodle Jump or PapiJump? Happy Jump does what the iPhone cannot, stepping ahead of its competitors by featuring precise controls, ridiculously addictive gameplay, and online scoreboards. Plus, with Xbox Live, system link, and split-screen multiplayer modes, Happy Jump will keep you and your friends racing for the top over and over again.”

Basketball Trick Shot (80 MS Points)
“Basketball Trick Shot is a physics based game. The goal is simple… put the ball in the basket. Challenge yourself with the 20 pre-built levels or create your own levels for timeless fun!”

Breeze (240 MS Points)
“Take control of a fan as you strive to gently blow a flower to the goal. Control the flower by proxy across 60 levels using only the power of wind. Take the flower through all four seasons to reach the goal. Breeze comes with a chilled, lilting soundtrack and an emphasis on the smooth. Breeze is light entertainment for persons of any age.”

MILITARY SNIPER-SIM 3.18 (80 MS Points)
“If you are considering a career as a marine or army sniper, this is where you begin. The creator of MILITARY SNIPER-SIM, Matthew Reedake, is an ex-soldier of the Australian Army and has studied advanced physics at Sydney University. Designed to allow the practice of all key skills used by snipers and marksmen, it includes environment effects, moving targets, ballistics replay and much more.”
