Skoddle Game's "Astro Cluster" Possible LIVE Weekend Matches

I've been doing Xbox Live Indie Game reviews just for a short while now. It has truly been a dream job for me, and Andy Merrill of xblaratings.com made that possible. While doing reviews for Andy I reviewed a game titled 'Astro Cluster'. The game ended up recieving a '10' rating which was the highest available on the site. It rightfully deserved it as well. I'm not going to go over the review here out of respect for Andy, and xblaratings.com. If you want to read the review you can find it at www.xblaratings.com. There's also a link to that site here on my blog. After reviewing the game, the developer @Skoddle replied to my review with a kind message complimenting me. It's not every day that I recieve compliments from a game developer, so this was a special moment for me. @Skoddle ended up inviting me to play online with him, and I did not hesitate to accept. The first online match we played was without the headset, but it was still very fun. We ended up sampling all of the multiplayer modes, and had a good time doing so.


Yesterday I was contacted by @Skoddle via my Twitter account about a gameplay an commentary video I had done on my Youtube channel. He mentioned that he was grateful for my support, and that he would like to play some online again. I was definitely all for it. During the course of that day @Skoddle, and myself tried to gather some players to try it out with us. @Skoddle was successful in securing 4 other players. That night we enjoyed an Xbox Live Party with 'Astro Cluster' as the game of choice. I also got to try out my headset for the first time which was cool. During our matches we discussed the possibility of weekend matches that would probably take place on Sundays since most people have the weekends off. We also briefly discussed giving some codes for the game away through giveaways/contests. I'm glad to say @Skoddle is currently working on sorting out the details. Astro Cluster is only 80 msp ($1), and is every bit worth it. If you've ever wanted to game with a developer your chance just may become reality!
