Darwinia+ is now available to play
Posted: Wed Feb 10, 2010 1:01 pm
We are extremely happy to announce the release of Darwinia+. Right now, gamers are enjoying Darwinia on Xbox Live Arcade after parting with 1200 MS points.
Introversion exists in order to create Original Video Games and we don't think you can get more original than Darwinia - a weird looking insight into the lives of little green stick men growing up inside an enormous network of 80s video game consoles! As a company the development of Darwinia has taken its toll - we've lost staff, lost confidence and on more than one occasion considered shutting the doors, but the key to running a small business is tenacity and we steadfastly stuck the course and today we find out if our efforts will be rewarded.
As well as our XBLA launch, we are approaching another major milestone: pretty soon the hundred thousandth PC gamer will have played Darwinia. It’s an incredible feeling knowing that so many people have enjoyed something that you have created, but despite it’s great response on the PC we’re still pretty nervous about how it will be received on the 360. We have no idea what that audience are going to make of it, but Darwinia+ is without doubt the most highly polished game we have produced - we are incredibly proud of it - the game is finished and now we must let the gamers decide.
Thanks for your continued help - without the press on side we don't stand a chance:
IGN - This is one of the richest, most complex experiences available on Microsoft's downloadable game platform. 8.9
Eurogamer - Innovative, unique and utterly charming in its self-contained universe, it comes highly recommended to open-minded 360 owners. 8

Too much time to play today, I will definitely lack the dedication to keep that up. Why isn't the multiplayer leaderboard TrueSkill based? Isn't that available for Arcade games?
