  1. Is it fun?
  2. Can I make levels for it?

Answer to both, yes (it’s fun to me) and yes.

Next step, better code.  Right now, there is no code saying you beat the level and the user must “manually” do something that should be automatic.  After that, more levels and better art (yeah… I made dev art :)

It red ringed while playing music…

Well, one good thing about all these RROD is that the Xbox 720 (or what ever they name the next system) has to be a rock steady, durable piece of electronics. If not, people aren’t going to trust Microsoft’s next system.
