Not sure why. It's an odd game, but free is free

LocoCycle is currently free on Xbox One

I remember almost buying this with my launch Xbox. I was like "It'll go free soon, so nah"
Took 5 years but my wait paid off.

Since they split from MS they made a VR game I think (?)
Edit: they apparently made a few VR games
Remember the days when this was hyped by Microsoft for the Xbox One lol? I tried the game some years ago. I suppose some people will have fun with it but it's generally a pass I would say. I wonder what Twisted Pixel is up to nowadays...
AND I WON BABY!
I don't know about really bad but it didn't do anything very special.
They made the Oculus Rift game Wilson's Heart. It's a huge departure from their usual silly stuff.
I played this at a prelaunch xbox preview event, and it was one of the worst things that Ive ever experienced
Nice, I'll finally check it out. I hope one day they make another game as fun as 'Splosion Man.
I enjoyed this when I played in PC a few years ago. Twisted Pixel was one of my favorite devs before they shifted focus to VR, and this has that TP humor that usually did a lot for me.
The reveal trailer might have been the coolest and most confusing thing to appear at a non-Devolver E3 adstravaganza. I loved the style and tone of that teaser, so it was pretty darn disappointing when the actual game turned out to be a completely different kind of weird.
Every Twisted Pixel game since Splosion Man has been saddled with what I call Twisted Pixel Bosses. These sometimes appear as mini/final bosses, and sometimes they're chunks of an on-rails level, but either way, they force the player to repeat roughly 6-9 times an identical pattern/dodge/vulnerability combo. Each repeat usually takes a while, too, so these drag on and on. You get stuck doing the same task over and over because they didn't bother building any interesting mechanics. Lococycle is riddled with this. Gunstringer and Wilson's Heart, too.
Damned shame. They're clearly a funny and talented team in terms of coaxing colorful VFX performance out of hardware (360, every Oculus platform), but Lococycle was the nail in their coffin for me. They have a new VR game at Oculus in the works and it's... well... I dunno. Could turn out great, and it's certainly ambitious. But I'm not ready to pass judgement yet.

It wasn't bad, but considering the developer (who made some of the best XBLA games on 360) it was pretty disappointing.

(Backstory)
my wife went to bed early tonight, shes sleeping, Im in the living room trying to be quiet
I cackled.
Usually this is free from another region's GWG. Good opportunity though for those who don't have it yet
Thanks! I really enjoyed their other games, but never grabbed this one due to the poor reception. I'll have to give it a try soon.
Doesn't this turn into one of those classic FMV SEGA CD games like halfway through or something?
I LOVE 'Splosion Man and had a ton of fun with Comic Jumper, even though most people seemed to hate it, but this one was too much for me. I can't.
On my range of appreciation for Twisted Pixel games, I actually thought this was a notch or two better than Comic Jumper.
I just hope they make another Splosion Man soon. :( Or even a Twisted Pixel Classic Collection for XBO/PS4/Switch.
