Hardcore Gamer: JoyJoy has worked perfectly for quite a while if you sideloaded it, but now, you can buy it officially on the OUYA storefront.
Anthony Morris: "Most genres have now moved on to such a point where the arcade days are all but forgotten, but twin stick shooters and the like are still incredibly similar to their predecessors other than the high-res graphics and complex particle systems, with there simply repetitive gameplay and local high score board. ‘JoyJoy’ is a game that fits right into that retro-feel arcade game niche that so many have been enjoying for the past 30 years."
DIYGamer: "Radiangames hit the XBLIG scene in 2010 with debut title Joy Joy, and has since been on a development tour de force, releasing a myriad of arcade-style shooters while migrating the dev’s various offerings (whether old, new, or upgraded) onto PC/Mac and iOS platforms as well. Luke Schneider, the mastermind behind it all, stops in to update us on the just released Quadtastic Collection, some reflection on marketing experimentation, and where he’s looking to go both platform-wise and genre-wise next."
Shooters can be intense affairs as players are confronted by a vicious circle of enemies, obstacles and an intense difficulty curve. JoyJoy is different, not because of its lack of challenge; it’s there but sweetly camouflaged beneath a pretty exterior. For those players who wish to excel and prosper, then JoyJoy can be tackled like other shooters, however Gamestyle suspects you’d be missing the main attraction; hint check out the screenshots.
