Xbox Indie Developer’s Take On Super Dodge Ball

Downtown Smash Dodge Ball is now on Xbox Live and it’s like Super Dodge Ball right down to the press A and B to jump control scheme.

In the game players smash their opponents with a dodge ball to drain their life meters. While defending, you can catch the ball and duck by pressing B. The last team standing wins.

Miracle Kidz, a Japanese indie development team made the game, but you can play it in English! Downtown Smash Dodge Ball automatically loads translated English text if your Xbox 360’s default language isn’t Japanese.

Even though this is a clone, it’s a fairly impressive one. You can download a demo of the game here. The full version goes for 800 Microsoft Points ($10), which makes this one of the most expensive Xbox Indie games on the market.
