DSi: Topsy Turvy Life: The Turvys Strike Back

Koei Tecmo super reversal shmup. Potentially gimmicky mechanic but looks interesting (well, still waiting for the vid to load on slow-ass work network). We've all wanted to play as the other side. Don't kid yourself. $2 on the DSiWare thing.

This concept has been done several times in doujin games, I've played at least two of them that I can recall. The concept sounds fun, but it got boring very quickly. Will be interesting to see if these guys offer a different take on the 'reverse-shmup' genre, though.

This game is silly, but at 200 points I suppose you could say it's a decent timewaster.
