Released for Xbox Live Indie Games (8/2010)
Unplugged is a twin-stick shooter game released to the Xbox Live Indie Games marketplace in August 2010. I was instantly reminded of the old Midway arcade Bubbles, where you play as a bubble and clean up the sink. This game does not bear much resemblance to that game other than taking place in a sink however. You play as a sink-plug that for some reason can shoot bullets. There is a constant current that affects both player movement and bullets, sucking them all in whatever direction the swirl is going for that stage. This sounds like a cool idea perhaps but in execution it really makes the game a chore to play. Lining up your bullets to kill an enemy seems more like luck than skill. Unplugged features some original enemy designs in the form of a giant cheese boss, soap bars and vegetables, but any charm is lost as the game-play is literally sucked down the drain.
Final Verdict: You can safely skip Unplugged as there are much better twin-stick shooters far more deserving of your dollar on the XBLIG marketplace.
