Xbox 360 - Mommy's Best Games (80 points Xbox Live Indie Arcade)

Bullet-hell shooter Shoot 1UP is a ferocious one or two player Xbox 360 game. It has some slightly saucy graphics, great game play and stonkingly good accessibility features.

The aim of the game is pretty basic: Blow up enemies, collect power-ups to get more powerful, avoid enemies and their bullets, score high. That's about the size of it, played against imaginative backgrounds and frenetic music. Rowdy!

Accessibility Options Include

Gameplay speed adjustment from 25%-200% normal speed
Remappable buttons
One Switch mode (requires held presses)
Auto-fire options
Visual constrast options

Some players may struggle with the sheer weight of visual information, and to keep track of their ship. In this case, I recommend experimenting with the speed control, control options and switching the backgrounds off.

Free Trial and Full Game available to download from: Xbox Live (UK), Xbox Live (USA) and Xbox Live (Japan).
