...because all my friends leaderboards times are like 4 mins and less for most levels, while I scrape by before the timer runs out!
Guess I need to work a bit harder or check up on the strategy topics.

Haha. Add me as a friend. It might boost your confidence.
I think tonight I'm going to have a Ninjabee night and just play Ninjabee games I have (right now AKFK, BOB and OKX).

Woohoo! NinjaBee night!
I need a NinjaBee night too, to put more time into Ooga... It's the only NinjaBee game I don't have full gamerscore on. (It's hard after playing it so much during development to go back and replay the whole thing when it releases...)

I only managed to squeeze in an hour of playing. Tried out Ancients of Ooga and also went back and retried Cloning Clyde.
AoO was fun. I liked eating everything in site and just bringing it with me. I accidentally fed one of the Oogas to one of the crocodile looking creatures (I can't remember the creature name) in the first level.
Cloning Clyde was fun too. Clyde is just a great looking character.
There's a good chance I'll have more time to play tonight (if not tonight, I'll definitely have a few hours tomorrow). I think I'm going to buy both of them.
They need an option to search the XBL marketplace by developer.

I agree! And it should be by developer, not publisher... But it's weird - some of our games are listed as NinjaBee published and some Microsoft, I think...? And both Clyde and Ooga were sort of NinjaBee published but developed by J. Kenworthy Entertainment and NinjaBee.
Anyway, have you tried out Destination Arcade? It's a new tool (available only during Summer of Arcade, in theory) that lets you explore games. For instance, you can look for games like Clyde and find Ooga. Or look for games like Band of Bugs and find Vandal Hearts.

Yes sir. I love Destination Arcade. It's a much nicer interface. I can search by title, ESRB rating, cost, etc (just not developer).
It's easy to launch titles from there, and you can recommend titles for friends. Oh and there's some avatar awards for using it.

Dang, I didn't even know about the avatar awards!
I know the guys who worked on Destination Arcade - smart dudes with a passion for making something cool. If it gets pulled after Summer of Arcade (which theoretically it will be) I'm hoping it'll come back soon in a more permanent form.

It makes it easy to find games that meet what you are looking for and I love the friend recommendations.
One of the avatar awards is a purple dragon pet. I think I have it active on my avatar now if you check on Xbox Live.
I actually kind of wish the entire games marketplace worked the way Destination Arcade. Next time you talk to your friend that worked on it, be sure to tell him that people love it. All of my friends that have tried it, love it.
