Hidden in Plain Sight (local multiplayer-only game)

Hello Ouya friends...

Hidden in Plain Sight is LIVE on the Ouya marketplace.  If you have some controllers and friends, grab it and give it a try!

I made a little game called Hidden in Plain Sight for the Xbox Live Indie Games platform, and am working on getting it ported over to the Ouya.  It's mostly working, with a few minor bugs here and there (sound effects don't play, for example).

I'm using Monogame to move from XNA to Mono for Ouya, and that's been working pretty well so far. 

So, just wanted to pop in and say "hi".

I'm curious/skeptical about how a local-multiplayer-only game will sell on a brand new platform.  Will there be enough people with 2-4 controllers to be interested in a local-mp only game?  What do you think?

    This to me was one of the big selling points... unfortunately didn't get an extra pad, but I probably have an Xbox pad I can plug into USB and see if that works :) And undoubtedly there are many people who got more than one controller for theirs.
    You didn't remember the plot of the Doctor Who movie because there was none; Just a bunch of plot holes strung together.

    The PS3 controller also works without any modification needed to the OUYA. I'm also making a local multiplayer game, and banking on lots of people having spare PS3 and xbox controllers

    Wait, WHAT?  It does?!  I'm going to have to test that out.  Thanks!

    I gave this a quick test, and indeed, the PS3 controller was able to pair up (using USB cable) and control the game.

    Both the PS3 controller and Ouya controller were lit up as Player 1, but in my game, one was definitely registering as PlayerIndex.Two, so that was a little weird.

    But the buttons all worked, etc.

    I've gotten a lot of feedback that the game is very wife- and girlfriend-friendly.  I hope it works out!  :)
