    (shameless self-promotion)

    Glide is a fast paced game of air hockey for up to 4 players. Supports local, system link and network multiplayer games. For an added challenge, try your hand at the block breaking action of Puckbreaker mode.

    Features
    • Four unique table surfaces.
    • Several different pucks to choose from (round, square or "The Duck").
    • Play with up to four players in competitive online games.
    • Challenging Puckbreaker mode with 30 different levels to play through.
    • Full avatar support.
    • Only 80 points ($1 US)
    Click to purchase from the Xbox Live Marketplace

    Click to see Glide in action on YouTube

    To purchase within the Xbox 360
    From the dashboard:
    • Game Marketplace
    • Explore Game Content
    • Indie Games
    • New Arrivals
    • Glide
    And for when it falls out of the new releases:
    • Game Marketplace
    • Explore Game Content
    • Indie Games
    • Browse
    • Title G
    • Glide
    Note, I can only account for the setup of the US region dashboard and do not know if other regions have different names or arrangements.

    Oh, and I expect at least half of the people here to buy the game. :nod:

    Not at all. I released Glide to every region I could, which are those that support the Xbox Live Indie Games section of the Xbox Live Marketplace. Currently:
    • Canada
    • France
    • Germany
    • Italy
    • Japan
    • Singapore
    • Spain
    • Sweden
    • United Kingdom
    • United States
    Other countries may have access to the game too, but those were my only release choices.

    Go get it. All you need to do is use the thumbstick to move and, if you want to/get good enough, use the triggers to control mallet speed.

    Congrats on the release. So as a developer what do you think of iphone development? Great way to access the casual gamers.

    This is a fun game. If you wanted some suggestions, I'd recommend polishing it a little, maybe make the puck glow, add some special effects and improve some of the textures. Nice and cheap too.

    Have you had many purchases yet?

    Thanks. I put as much time as I could afford to into the game. I would have liked to have put in more finishing touches (better particle effects, truly glowing radioactive duck, menu transitions) and more features (coop Puckbreaker, different shaped tables), but at some point I had to let it go. It is a cheap game after all. :lol:

    Also, no sales data yet... 58 reviews with an average 3.25/5.0 rating though.

    Hardly, but it is nice to be in the top 20 at least briefly. I have no idea how they calculate it though.

    Now, if I can just get GameFAQs to actually accept the game data I have been submitting, I would be happy.
