Wizorb prepped for a November release on PC photo

It's become increasingly clear that, for certain developers putting out Xbox Live Indie games, following up with a secondary PC release is the way to go. If the title in question is of high enough quality, of course. Wizorb is one such game, and its PC release has been set for Monday, November 7.

This will be happening by way of digital distributor GamersGate. Though keyboard and gamepad support is included, the developers say mouse control is where it's at; this input method "makes Wizorb rely even more on reflexes which feels great and makes the game a tad easier."

Grand news for those unwilling or unable to grab the original release. While not currently dated, Linux and Mac ports are also being worked on. I could see it doing particularly well on the App Store, but one step at a time.

Swank! I wanted to give this one a try, but my lack of a 360 was a slight impediment.

I wonder how Gamersgate gets quality exclusives like this and Precursors. Good for them, I've liked it when I've used it.

lol manasteel, I guess by "you PC kids" you mean "everyone," since if you have a PC capable of visiting this site you most likely have one capable of playing this game. That's partly why releasing indie games on consoles exclusively has never made much sense to me... but that's a topic for another time. Good to see the PC release (which has been planned and known of from the beginning) isn't too long after the 360 one.

I use PC Kids more as a term of preference over actual ability to play. I'm a console guy at heart so I will always prefer a console version over a PC version.

Wizorb has been submitted to Steam as well. Whether or not it gets released is now up to Valve.

Sweet hopefully the PC controls will be more precise than those analog stick controls.

Awesome! I love it already on 360, but it would benefit so much from a mouse. The analog stick has caused me to miss the orb so many times.
