Capy Games, developer of adorable guzzle-'em-up Critter Crunch and the gorgeousSuperbrothers Sword & Sworcery EP, has won the Microsoft-sponsored "XBLA Prize" during the 14th Annual Independent Games Festival Awards, held this evening in San Francisco. The recipients receive a rare digital copy of the now-delisted advergame, Yaris.

No, wait, it says here they get a guaranteed first-party publishing deal via Microsoft's Live service, including Xbox Live Arcade, Windows Phone and Windows ... Computer. In this case, the game headed to XBLA is Super T.I.M.E. Force!

The award comes with a few other bonuses too: Microsoft will provide funding to complete the game if necessary, and augment its development with several first-party support services, including usability, testing, and a guy who never looks up from his Blackberry.

if the video is exactly what the game will look like, i must have been a very slow year for indie developers.

that game looks awful , too bad microsoft cant pass this on to the trash because that where it belongs

Looks awful
0/10

looks like crap. and not just visually.

Looks can be deceiving people, don't judge by trailers alone.
Critter Crunch (albeit a completely different game) is one of the best PSN games ever so give this one a chance, it might just surprise you.

Er ... ok, i've still yet to see a decent 'indie' game

I've heard good things about this indie studio plus why would MS publish the game if it wasn't any good? Give it a chance.

True, but in this case the game kinda does looks like ass.
