Major Pluggage
It turns out I wasn’t the only one who got a kick out of that last video. It got picked up by some pretty high profile gaming blogs and news sites.
From Destructoid:
I’m excited for The Dishwasher because it represents something different on the XBLA horizon. I, for one, have had enough of the standard XNA fare with its miniature graphics, thrown-together “pew pew pew” gameplay, and disgusting overuse of the same red/green/blue/purple color palate. This game is stylish, it’s fast-paced, and it looks challenging and incredibly fun to play. It shows developers out there that a little creativity with XNA can go a long way.
From Xbox360fanboy.com:
How exactly the guitar sections — in which players match button inputs with corresponding prompts — meld with the game proper we have no idea, and honestly don’t care. All we know is it looks like glorious, violent fun.
From XBLArcade.com:
Along the way we have been granted various glimpses into the world of this dishwashing rampage. And perhaps those earlier videos left you wanting more? If so a new trailer has just arrived that features more blood, more insane massive damage combos, and more…guitar?
Thanks as always to these great sources for the coverage. I keep feeds on these sites, so it’s always a bit of a surprise to see The Dishwasher show up in the wild!
