Mentioning which, the OUYA store now has 112 titles. Barley Break is still among them. I really don't understand why you would put something of that quality in your store. Even if it was free it would still be terrible.

A big part of the OUYA concept is that no game will ever be rejected from the market because the OUYA people don't like it. So that means that even the worst possible game, if it were properly put together, would have a place on their store. You could not create a game that they would fail for subjective reasons if you tried.

Didn't they fail their own sample game without recognizing that it was their sample game?

No, one of the reasons they failed it was listed as "also this seems to just be our sample game, is that some kind of accident?". Theflyingorc posed as a member of mojang and submitted that app, so they gave him the benefit of the doubt, like "uhh when we run this it just seems to be our sample game? are we missing something?"

The other reasons weren't subjective quality things, though, it was basic functionality issues.

Hey! I haven't trolled him across multiple sites!

It's basically been this one and the fact that I got OUYAGamingSource to retweet some of my fake messages about the OUYA. That was a good day.

edit: Did you know that all OUYA consoles come with $3 to spend on day one? It's true, I read it on Twitter!

I just thought it was dumb at the time, but looking back, this was kinda funny.

Okay, I get the concept and I'll say it's an absolutely stupid idea with good intentions.
You saw those screenshots I took of Barley Break right? It's a 15 square numbered sliding block puzzle. It has no music, the blocks are white (not even a picture to finish the puzzle) you get a white "Congratulations" on black background when you win with a score, then back to start.

I know it's an "open" platform, but I think I might have seen better games made in my introduction to programming classes.

The first ten seconds of that "rap" made me so uncomfortable I had to shut it off.

I don't know if it's a good fit, the drift on the analog stick might counteract the bad alignment on the bus.
