Then there is the stability issue with the game. It crashed several times on me and the game has old school graphic glitches in the menus that make all of the buttons a blob. It means that you had to remember how to quit out of the game or hard-quit in order to solve the problem. There is a certain amount of in-game lag as well that can make it frustrating on the harder levels. Furthermore, the game requires you to share your score. When you are learning the game it can be quite annoying to see just how bad your score is compared to others.
Now then, ignore everything I have just said about the game, and just go get it on Steam. All the above would be bloody frustrating and cause a rubbish score were it a AAA or even AA title. Were this game to cost $50 for the PC I would say stay well away. Considering it is less than a tenner, it's all rather moot. If you are between big titles or just need a laugh at something totally different then get this game. Its not a "session" game by any means and it has its quirky frustrations. Support the developers for taking a chance and get this game. It has some truly interesting ideas and may be a great concept even if the execution isn't the greatest.
Xotic is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB for Animated Blood, Violence. This game can also be found on: Xbox 360
