Who wants BombSquad for Christmas? (48 hour flash contest)

1. Even though I already have Bombsquad, I bought an Ouya for my best friend for Christmas and it is his FAVORITE GAME on the Ouya. (We were just playing it last night for several hours, in fact.) I'd love to be able to give him a copy of it for Christmas to help round out his Ouya gift!

2. I have a laptop to play emulators on. Not only is it a pain to hook up the laptop and then try to pair the controllers (I use MotionInJoy for the PC to pair my PS3 controllers), but it also tough to carry around. Not only does the Ouya allow me to EASILY hooked up to any HDTV to play my emulated games, but it is also very compact and light. I can fit my Ouya, controllers (1 Ouya and 4 PS3.. with charging dock!), cables, usb drives / jump drives, and accessories all in ONE bag that fits right over my shoulder. It's the perfect 'party break out' bag.

3. That would probably be my best friend. Even though we play co-op a lot, he's very competitive. In our rounds last night, I couldn't help but toss a random bomb his way when he was standing next to TNT. The reaction is just too funny. :D

1. Why should YOU be that winner?

Because I will receive my Ouya on December the 23th and this would be the perfect game to begin with

2. What brought you to the Ouya?

A little cube which offers great possibilities and fun! Isn't that appealing enougth to bring some one ;-)

3. Who would you like to play BombSquad with and blow up repeatedly?

Everybody! Let's have a blast all together!

1. Why should YOU be that winner?
Because this contest provided me with motivation. I've been following the Ouya Forum on Twitter since I purchased my Ouya, but had been lazy. I hadn't actually registered for the forum. I know: that makes me a terrible person. But alas- no more! I have registered and I am entering this contest, so I should be the winner for taking immediate action upon seeing a Tweet!

2. What brought you to the Ouya?
As bad as this might sound, the Game Informer review. I had heard of the Ouya Kickstarter, but wasn't quite sure what to make of it. It sounded like it had potential, but I wasn't sure. When I read the Game Informer review earlier this year, I was intrigued. I liked the idea- I liked the concept- and I wanted to try some of the games outlined in the article, like The Amazing Frog?, No Brakes Valet, Towerfall and Polarity. I'm glad I did- I've had a lot of fun with my Ouya, and it took reading a printed magazine to realize how much fun it could be.

3. Who would you like to play BombSquad with and blow up repeatedly?
Many years ago, a cousin of mine named Mark introduced me to video games. He handed me the NES Zapper- a grey one, not an orange one- and let me play Duck Hunt. I still see him on occasion and... wouldn't you know it, he's going to be over my house on Christmas, as are my younger cousins who I introduced video gaming too. It's not quite three generations of gamers, but it's fun for us to all huddle around a console and play for awhile. So... I guess I'd like to blow up my cousins, young and old, this Christmas. And isn't that what Christmas is all about: blowing up your family, over and over again?

1. Why should YOU be that winner?
Love the OUYA and what it aims to do, and I already purchased 42 other games in support of the devs and the OUYA.. This thing needs to be around for years to come because I cannot go next-gen.. Does absolutely nothing for me in terms of gaming pleasure.
2. What brought you to the Ouya?
My everlasting love for retro gaming and the fact most new consoles are basically "fps boxes". am I the only one noticed that they keep churning out the same garbage year in year out? Madden 25, smh.. Where's the originality? Call of duty: Whatever.. Pfft seriously?! Where's the new content.
3. Who would you like to play BombSquad with and blow up repeatedly? My daughter and wife although I let the latter win every time :)

1. Why should YOU be that winner?
Because I'm Awesome! ...seriously, I am!

2. What brought you to the Ouya?
Having a place to publish my games (once they're done) and having a place to play new, original content.

3. Who would you like to play BombSquad with and blow up repeatedly?
My best friend. BombSquad would be an awesome excuse to get him to play more OUYA

1. Why should YOU be that winner?
Because I need revenge on my two boys who are all better than me at video games because I haven't played much since the 1980's. At least with this game we'd all start off equal.
2. What brought you to the Ouya?
Bought one when I realized I could play emulator games that I didn't suck at because they don't require you use 16 different buttons. Also XBMC is awesome!
3. Who would you like to play BombSquad with and blow up repeatedly?
My kids, wife, Mother-in-law and 20-or so-other in-laws who will all be showing up at my place over Christmas. I'd blow them all up. Every single one....lol

Yeah...terrible. Just awful :p
Who's tweet? Wasn't me since I had a 17 hour workday.

You guys are really making it hard to make a decision. I might have to ask someone else to do it when this is over.

Open-source, being able to experiment and hack the device, and that beautiful price. The idea of being able to create a game that I (will make one day :) ) have always been thinking of making without being stuck on a computer with a keyboard and a mouse and spending a ton of time advertising and competing against all of the shovelware.

Jakenut86! Hahahaha!!! He is a very fun person and it was awesome pwning him in Neon Shadows. :D

LOL :P

1.) I should win cuz this is one of the few OUYA games I don't own

2.) I love Indie games :D and Emulation

3.) Sluup So I could maybe do some pwning :P

1) Because I just ordered my first OUYA console and am anxiously waiting for it to arrive. BombSquad will be the first game I get!
2) A posting from C|NET's "The Cheapskate" on 12/19 finally pushed me over the edge, tho I've been following OUYA with great interest for some time.
3) Snakes! (I hate snakes)

1. Because as an oversee Ouya user I have a harder time getting hardware - I am currently saving to get controller #3 and #4.
2. The openess of the system. Because of its promised open-source layout, I expected good and niche games. And was not dissapointed.
3. One of my best buddies - We played the demo till it ended, and wanted more... sadly... money is the issue.
