I managed to get a build of Puzzle. Puzzle? Puzzle! together last night, but decided not to release it for playtesting because it's too damn hard! I have a couple ideas about how to improve it. I'll try to get those implemented today and release it in the next few hours. If I can't get it done, I'll just put forth the hard version.
Several people expressed interest in playtesting. I'd like to keep it to around 5 people right now. Those people, unless I don't hear from them, are: Nademagnet, Affable Robot, GOS-CPT-Stewart, Scary Womanizing Pig Mask, Tubatic, and The Bez. I need all those people (except Nademagnet) to email me at entrager [at] gmail [dot] com so I can get the playtest to you.
If anyone else is interested, please email me. It's not possible to distribute a game that can be played on an XBox 360, unless you have an XNA Creator's Club account. The playtest is a Windows build. I believe the only requirement is Windows XP SP2 or higher. You *should* be able to use a USB XBox 360 controller to play it, but I don't have one to test that with.
A few notes based on comments from my other posts:
On punctuation: I know it's supposed to be Puzzle! Puzzle! Puzzle! I came up with Puzzle. Puzzle? Puzzle! I like it, and Chad and Colette both thought it was funny. For now, that's what I'm going with.
On music: Aurion commented on my first post about the project offering some Korg DS-10 music. Do want! Please email me. Anyone else that wants to offer 8-bit (or maybe 16-bit) music, please let me know.
On art: I could use a hand with some sprites. If anyone wants to volunteer their help, it would be appreciated.
That's it for now. I look forward to hearing from playtesters.

I for one would like to test it out. I will PM you with e-mail. :)
These puzzles are making me thirsty?

Once I feel like it's pretty enough to not instantly turn people off to it. Maybe in a week or two?
I haven't received your email, perhaps it's just delayed. If you don't hear from me by tomorrow morning send me another.
