Clover Rocks XBL Community Games, Sales, Critics
Like the politic-minded spawn of Braid, BinaryTweed's Clover has taken Xbox Live Community Games by storm - the self-described "watercolour political platform puzzler" is already the number one rated Community Game and has the Official Xbox Magazine UK raving that it's possibly the "best Community Game yet."
And for only 400 Microsoft Points, it can be... it... can be...
Ok, can we get real for a minute and talk about how hot BinaryTweed honcho Deejay is? The man has a 'hawk strip and a handlebar mustache and a critically acclaimed platformer inspired by the events preceding the 2003 Iraq war. And he's a shorinji kan jiu-jitsu instructor. I'm officially crushing. That's natural, right?
You'll find a beautiful video and more facts after the jump.
You should take a look at them while I... while I... report. On some, um, news. Yeah. News.
London, United Kingdom - Monday 11th May
Clover - Out Now
Binary Tweed is proud to announce that watercolour political platform puzzler Clover is now available for purchase via Xbox LIVE Community Games for 400 Microsoft points. The politically-themed game described by Official Xbox Magazine UK as possibly the "best Community Game yet" has not only caught the eye of gamers around the world, but also the CIA and United States Army Information Services Command, going straight into the list of top user-rated Community Games at xblcg.info.
After suffering review process delays, extra development time means that Clover's unlockable artwork gallery and designer's notes are back in the game. Featuring nearly 150Mb of artwork, over 30 minutes of original piano music, and hours of head-scratching puzzle-solving, at a mere 400MSP Clover is cheaper than a London Underground single and guaranteed to not leave the inside of your nose black.
Already in the hands of some early-bird gamers, the true nature of Clover's political plot is becoming clear. "It's been great to read emails from gamers who have picked up on the historical and political references - if Clover has one objective, it's to make people think." commented Binary Tweed's Deejay. Heavily inspired by the events preceding the 2003 Iraq war, the game invites players to draw their own conclusions from unfurling events.

I know there was text on the page somewhere... yeah, I'm totally crushing on Deejay too.
I already thought he was hot, but when you said he's a martial artist... wow. I just started having fantasy after fantasy... :P
Lose the mustache, then we can talk.
Interesting little game--I hadn't heard of it. You really got me excited though in that at first I thought you meant Clover Studios, who made the really super awesome Okami.
Yeah, this dude is damned hot. I'd want him to lose the handlebars, but, hey, I'd probably put up with them ;)
