Sequel to the indie hit, PLATFORMANCE: Castle Pain, PLATFORMANCE: Temple Death was released today on XBLIG for $1 (80 MSP).
I am going to download it right now... I will update OP with my first impression soon. I wonder if there is more than one map this time around
Any of you CAGs out there been looking forward to this sequel? I would love to hear what you guys think as well.

First Impressions:
If you liked the first game, you are in for a treat. This one is just as if not more fun than the original. It only has one map, but there are 3 difficulty levels that alter the map in devastating ways... I only played about 30 mins and I posted up scores to all 3 leaderboards. I started out on Normal to learn the map a little bit. Normal is still pretty tough. The ghost moves extremely slow though so the average gamer should be able to complete it. Next I went to Hardcore... This mode adds plenty of new traps and makes it quite a bit more difficult. The ghost moves faster as well. I was able to complete it on my first try though, so not impossible by any stretch of the imagination. Next up is "Insane"... and they weren't joking. I barely made it out of the starting gate on this mode. I got to the point where you spawn the ghost and about 20 seconds later he had captured me...
Here are my scores on my first playthru:
Normal: 90+ deaths, roughly 15 mins, END
Hardcore: 80+ deaths, roughly 12 mins, END
Insane: 20 something deaths, roughly 2 mins, Died right after the ghost spawned.
At the time of posting I am 7th on the Hardcore leaderboards. Insane leaderboards are another story... while I'm not in dead last, second to last doesn't feel too good either, lol.
Easily worth the price of admission... Give it a shot.
