Swedish indie, Manly Games, lets Snailien Invasion loose on Xbox

The Xbox 360 Indie platform is the launching pad for developer, Manly Games' Snailien Invasion.

A 2D platformer inspired by the DOS games of old, Snailien Invasion allows for up to eight player online multiplayer, and four player split screen.

Players can research up to 30 weapons for use in both competitive and cooperative multiplayer.

The game world looks bright and vibrant, and precisely the kind of thing that fits in with the indie platform that Microsoft has given smaller developers to work with.
