Ubergridder, as part of the Indie Games Winter Uprising, was released last week. The game is a fairly mindless arcade game that has you completing and filling in grids while avoiding monsters.
The first game out of Badger Punch Studios, Ubergridder is a title that can directly trace it's roots back to Pacman. Pnosker.com takes a look at whether this metal grid tracer adds something new to the genre or if it just feels like a stale Pacman clone.
CFD!'s Rob Rich returns with the third offering for the Indie Games Winter Uprising on Xbox Live:
"Game three of the Indie Games Winter Uprising: Ubergridder. What exactly is an “Ubergridder” anyway? Well, it seems to be some form of maintenance robot that constructs grids to repair damaged spaceships. Apparently."
It's worth mentioning that you can trap yourself with some badly places Monster Chew, so be mindful of where you drop that stuff.
I like how the hero in no way resembles Wall-E. Seriously, though, this looks like something I should check out.
Pac-ladies, cute. This game looks hella boring though even if you like Pac-Man. Unless I'm just a jerk...
That's not an unlikely possibility ;P
Actually, the concept reminds me a bit of the old arcade game Qix - I need to download the trial and see if it plays like I hope it does.
Never played Qix, before my time I suppose. Funny talking about the "possibility" of someone on N4G being a jerk though.. ha..
Diehard GameFAN: "Oh, Ubergridder… sweet little Pac-Man clone. Only this little Johnnie 5 looking Pac-Man clone doesn’t have the ghosts… the wacky mazes… the cute sound effects… or, well, most of what makes Pac-Man so timeless."
