No, but that robot did cost a few million to manufacture, is it the same?
UberGridder from BadgerPunch Games continues the Winter Uprising. It's a sort of thinking man's pacman where you don't actually have to think. The protagonist is a nicely rendered three dimensional robot who is displayed on a two dimensional plane. Programmed to build in a vacuum our robot finds company where there was expected to be none. The work continues regardless.
I've often wondered what we will be listening to when we finally reach the stars, and are given eternity to contemplate.The background music to this game sounds like it might be pretty close. I found it very relaxing. There might be a couple tracks that the game loops through so I will have to play again to hear more.
Here's the website of the game's musician, pretty good stuff, http://xerxes-music.com/

I played through the trial a few times on the XBOX, not really anxious to get the level complete, I just knew that it would eventually get done. If it wasn't for those pesky monsters! For some reason I got stuck on level 3. The high score table lists a nine as the highest level so I assume there's that many levels. Unless it is endless.
Interestingly I had a look at the developer's website and noticed there was a windows version available for download.
The version plays very similar, although I found the arrow keys to be a simpler control method.
Our robot is designed to continue on his path until he reaches a junction or receives input from the user. Input being a direction of movement along the construction grid. What I liked about the game was sending the directional input before the junction, and then releasing the button to watch as the robot processed my command and turned at the appropriate time. I made it to level four on the windows version of the game, and noticed the speed had increased significantly, kickin' it up a notch
How much would you expect to pay for this casual mix of hardcore gameplay? If you said 80 MS Points you are correct. If you're addicted you will probably buy this game, if you're like me you will create a website devoted to XBOX Indie Games in order to obtain copies of the games released there. Either way, as long as everyone plays.

I have to be honest... All the games in this promotion really are of no interest to me. I wish they had more variety :(

The spice of life. I hear you though, there have been months long stretches where it seems everything is just so blah on the channel. But tomorrow is another day and another game to play.
