Just started messing around with it and it seems pretty good so far. Trying to figure out builds and build orders since I don't have much experience with games like this. Anyone have some advice?
Awesomenauts
Game » consists of 8 releases. Released May 01, 2012
Aliens, robots, and futuristic cowboys collide in this MOBA-inspired 2D arena platformer inspired by late-80s and early-90s cartoons.
Anyone playing this right now?

Isn't this the game that none of us will be playing for a while? Or should I have read more of that news story than just the headline?
I'm pretty sure the headline was a 100% accurate summary of the article. I'm confused now, too.

It was updated to reflect that the devs confirmed it was still releasing on time

This makes sense.
This game's cool! Definitely seems like one of the more accessible MOBA-ish games out there. My K/D ratio isn't completely embarrassing. And the 90s-cartoon theme song intro is pretty great.
At first I thought it was one of those games that came out on a Friday since it wasn't part of XBLA's "Next", but then realized it was only Wednesday. I'd get more sleep if there wasn't so much content! I'm downloading the trial now to check it out.
Edit: Played a little and it's fun for a bit, however a bit slow-paced for my taste.
I played 3 games last night, lost all 3. Was a pretty frustrating experience to be honest, my team sort of stumbled around not doing anything. We could not push a single turret because they were always just turtled up at our own turrets instead of pushing forward.
That said, I like the actual game itself but due to my burning hatred of the PS3 analog sticks I am not entirely sure how much more I will play unless I can adapt, the lack of D-pad controls for movement is just stupid - no one needs those silly team commands.
i´m playing right now. it´s great. a little bit overwhelming in the beginning
edit : last 2 games disconnected / connection error , i´m done for today. could be a failure on my side though
Yup, enjoying it immensely, especially for free! Just won a couple more matches as Clunk (the robot) tonight. Been going back and forth between him and Leon as my favorites. The last game I played, the teams were pretty well matched, which made it particularly exciting. The one game I've lost so far, the rest of my team didn't really seem to know what they were doing - it can make a big difference, it seems.
I think up I'm to level 7 now, so still a lot more left to unlock. Will definitely keep playing it in between sessions of the Witcher 2 :)
Feel like the medic one is a bit broken.
I just won a bunch of games in a row by marching forward with a bots and a teammate, putting a turret heal field by the turret. Repeating to victory
So if the studio has shuttered, then how will new content be released? Three maps is already getting really old
I don't have Xbox Live Gold right now (not much of a reason when Trials lets me DL maps and see Ghosts without it) but was curious about this title. It looks like a lot of fun, I am really into the MOBA genre, so I was wondering if anyone could fill me in if the Online is any better than the SP the demo let me play. I wasn't impressed with the lackluster style the computers went at me, it felt stale. Does the online reflect a more competitive scene, or does it reflect mostly what the SP demo gave me?

The publisher is bankrupt, not the studio.

Ah ok.
Yeah played alot of games of it last night it is quite good. PSN is Time-racoon if anyone wants a game
bought it for the 360 lastnight only 400 people on the leaderboard :-( thats a real shame because i like the game alot.
Got this on 360 and am enjoying myself greatly. Shame, as the above poster points out, that hardly anyone has actually bought it on the 360.

You just need a power attack combo like Froggy G's Dash/Spin on the healer, or just keep everyone away with the cyber bull.
@Xeiphyer: Between being disconnected on a 16/0 game and being placed in a game where the enemy was already in our base, I guess I shouldn't have expected to keep a great win ratio either. It claims I've won 1 of 3 (I've played 4 games: won 2, 'disconnected' from one right before winning, and lost that one where the game was already over (still went 3-0, though))
Feel free to add me on PSN (ateatree) if you want to play sometime.
I like it, minus some assorted connection errors (and balance issues).
The healer is gross. Just run him, Clunk, and Lonestar. Was with a team last night that was pushing out wins in about 3 minutes. One push all the way to their base and they couldn't do much to stop it. The healer is just that good. Even if they stop your early game pushes of doom, his damage output (with drones) is some of the highest later on. I could basically kill anyone just by standing near them, so even Leon jumping me meant nothing.
I picked it on 360 so you want to add me to play my GT is Joshthebear.
I'm definitely digging it but the balance seems to be off. Any team with a great healer who's leveled can run roughshod through the opposing team with ease.
Been playing it on the PS3, this is my first MOBA type of game. I'm really enjoying it so far. If you want to add me, my id is PersonaDante, but with finals this coming week, I might not be online that much, but I'll try to play a few games every now and then throughout the week.
I've mainly been using Lonestar myself, and using him in more of a support role (using the Bull to knock enemies away from turrets and throwing dynamite to destroy enemy creeps and damaging enemies) The healer is pretty cool too.
Bought it last night because I really liked the quick look, and played it way too long into the night. I am very bad at it but slowly improving, I really enjoy it so far. Only unlocked the tank dude, but have been only playing the frog which seems to fit my playstyle. Which one do you guys like?
I'm playing on 360 (gamertag: emertsch). Fuck that alien. I was taking down turrets by myself with two creeps. He is too powerful indeed.
Yuri so far. Been playing random for the bonus though.Bought it last night because I really liked the quick look, and played it way too long into the night.
