Preview: Max Blastronaut (Coin App)
Entered into this year's Dream-Build-Play competition, Max Blastronaut is a space-based action blaster from Coin App.
Why should you be excited? How about 4 player co-op fun, 24 different planets to explore and the ability to grab an enemy and swing them round and round by their legs? Expect to see this on the Xbox at some point in the near future - maybe even as an Xbox Live Arcade title if the Coin App guys' entry comes up trumps.

Lol, the 360's Super Mario Galaxy. What would it be without guns?

A game centered around shooting stuff with guns would indeed be odd without guns. Or just think of what all those flight simulators would be without aircrafts.. :)
Seriously, I don't think it looks much like SMG at all, as there don't even seem to be any physics in place. It rather looks like an arena shooter wrapped around a sphere.
I find that apart from the untypical setting it looks somewhat generic and not so much fun to play. But, there seems to be quite some variety in the level layouts, and paired with the coop that might just be enough.

It looks like 'The Little Prince' if that was solely about beating the shit out of other small planet dwellers.

Yes, when I said "what would it be without guns" I meant what would an xbox game with an aspect similar to a nintendo game be if it weren't a shooting game. |^P
You're right, the only similarity is that you're going around small planets. I just saw it as kind of funny. Like it showed the difference between the consoles. Nintendo has cartoony extremely non-violent games, and xbox usually has shooting games. XD
