Developed by Radiangames
Released for Xbox Live Indie Games (5/2010)
Also on iOS/Ouya
radiangames JoyJoy is a simple twin-stick shooter with a lot of polish and was the first release on XBLIG from developer radiangames. It has a very simplistic graphic style that I find very pleasant, likely due to all the really light pastel colors. This game mixes up the twin-stick formula a bit by having numerous different weapons you can switch between on the fly. You can also find upgrades for your weapons dropped by enemies. You also have a special attack you can charge and unleash. At the main menu you're able to choose from campaign, challenges and modifiers. Campaign mode is what you'd expect, clear levels to advance and see how far you can get. There are checkpoints every couple of waves up until wave 21, so you can come back and start off somewhere near where you left off. Challenge mode is exactly as advertised, containing various challenging scenarios for you to attempt to survive. The modifiers menu has a bunch of cheats you can enable if you don't feel like losing. Like stated previously, radiangames JoyJoy is a very simple twin-stick shooter, but it's very polished and I'd say easily among the better efforts of this genre available on Xbox's Indie Games marketplace.
Final Verdict: Twin-stick shooter fanatics give radiangames JoyJoy a go, you're sure to have a good time with this one.
