The Indie Game Magazine have done a mini review, and they generally liked it, saying that the ‘…puzzle gameplay feels fresh…’. They also had some criticsm, they weren’t too keen on the simple graphics and sound, but they do round off by saying that the game is definitely worth trying.

Steven Hurdle has undertaken the admirable mission to buy and try an indie game from the Xbox Indie Game Marketplace every day. His only criteria are that the game must be good, and it must NOT be in the top 50 download chart. He’s going to keep going until he runs out of games.
Today, he has reached his 64th game, which is BlindGiRl. He liked it a lot, saying that it ‘…stands out as a title with plenty of innovation..’.
Read the full review, and be sure to support Steven’s quest to give the indie channel some much needed promotion.
Psychphan from GamersInfo.net has played BlindGiRl and offered up his thoughts. Sounds like he enjoyed it, making particular mention of the suprisingly tense gameplay and summarising that it was ‘Everything you want from an exploration game‘.

Following up TechnologoDoom’s excellent review of BlindGiRl, The Autonomous Regime union from the Gamespot forums asked us for a Q&A, which we were happy to do. They asked us some very interesting questions, so read the full interview at The Autonomous Regime over at Gamespot.
Gamespot reader ‘TechnologoDoom’ has written a community review of BlindGiRl. The review is as comprehensive and professionally written as any we’ve seen, and there are some really well thought out comments and critiques.
“BlindGiRl somehow performs a dazzling alchemy in turning what would otherwise be a rather dull maze-game into a challenging, aesthetically rich game that will leave a strong impression on the player well after you reach completion”
It’s well worth a read of the full review, and you can do so over at Gamespot.com.

The review also talks about an impromptu game of ‘BlindGiRl LIVE!’ in hospital corridors. It’s really great for us to hear this sort of thing, and we’re really glad our game was able to help these people out in some way.
Alan over at WeDoTech has posted a review, saying that BlindGiRl “…provided me with a completely original gaming experience like nothing I’ve seen before“.

Accessible Gamebase is a great idea – a database site to catalogue and review games that are suitable for young people with disabilities to play. GLPeas are happy to support such initiatives, and sent SpecialEffect (the charity behind it) some BlindGiRl download codes. They’ve now posted their review, calling the game ‘refreshingly different’.
