Another Update, and more Reviews

Zoomaroom has been updated again to fix some issue people have had with saving rooms, and to add a much-requested feature: You can now delete rooms you have created or rooms you have downloaded from others! Just load the room in the editor, press start, and go to "Delete Room".

Again, in order to get the update you will have to download the game from Xbox Live Marketplace again (you will not be charged if you already bought it). Unfortunately, Community Games do not get auto-updates like Arcade or retail games do on the Xbox 360.

Also, more reviews have come in for Zoomaroom, here's a couple of them from IGN and GayGamer.net:

Below, I've embedded a review from XNA Roundup:




I recommend subscribing to XNA Roundup through YouTube or iTunes, they are great way of finding the best of the Community Games amongst the flood of games that has hit the service recently (episodes 1-6 are worth watching as well).

Zoomaroom Updated

We just released an update to Zoomaroom that includes two bug fixes.
1) some people saw a code 4 after the title screen due to a race condition.
2) some people could not connect to a lobby when the first connection fails

If you downloaded the game before this update you'll need to re-download it to get the update.

If you try to join a lobby, and it says 'Version out of Date', that means you need to re-download Zoomaroom to get the update.

Bugs

If you find any Zoomaroom bugs, please post them with repro steps in the comments. We'd like to fix anything that comes up quickly, so your help could really make the difference.

EDIT: We now have a forum on xbox.com, which is a great place to post bugs, issues, or suggestions.

Zoomaroom is available NOW!

Queue it up to download to your Xbox 360 by going here:

Zoomaroom on Xbox Live Marketplace

Zoomaroom is officially available on Xbox360 in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Spain!

The trial is free to download and play, and the full version is 200 MS points ($2.50 USD).

Each of us at FourBrosStudios have achieved some excellent best times in many of the rooms and built some pretty cool custom levels not included in the game. If you see us in an online lobby our known best time data will synchronize and you'll have the opportunity to download our rooms (or anyone elses, if you see them in a lobby). Just press Y while you're playing to join a lobby.

Hope to see you online!

So close to shipping

We've passed peer review and are now waiting to hit XBL.

I'll post a link to the xbox.com page once it goes live.
