Xbox Games Store Update – FRU, KYUB, Pharaonic, Videoball

It’s only Wednesday, and already Microsoft has a pretty solid lineup of digital Xbox One releases for the week… especially those with a one word title such as FRU, Kyub, Pharaonic and Videoball.

And then there’s The Solus Project too and some game previews as well.

Check out the goods below.

FRU ($14.99)
FRU is a puzzle platformer that features an innovative use of Kinect, in which your silhouette becomes a ?portal? between two worlds. You will find yourself solving puzzles by strategically positioning your body, combining physical interaction with traditional platforming. Be precise, be careful, take on a funny pose, but most importantly, be creative with your body! Every level can be solved in multiple ways, with different poses. What sort of creative solutions can you come up with?

The Solus Project ($19.99)
Humanity is on the verge of extinction. You are the last hope, tasked with finding a safe haven for a colony. But now you are stranded on a deserted alien planet and every other member of your crew is dead. The fate of humanity rests in your hands: you must survive? Plants grow and rot, weather changes from scorching heat to chilling storms, the wind and humidity are unforgiving?

KYUB ($19.99)
Move the ?Kyub? and use its abilities to solve devious puzzles and escape malicious traps. Switch between action and puzzle phases where you manipulate other cubes to climb walls and destroy obstacles with lasers or activate switches to trigger new paths. Protect yourself and change the Kyub?s status to become immune to the elements. Master the Kyub and discover all its insane possibilities. Design your journey at slow pace or furiously fast rhythm. But always be wise & creative because memory, reflexes and rapid execution are the keys to completing each challenge.

VIDEOBALL ($9.99)
VIDEOBALL is a compact expression of all sports? mechanics with simple one-button controls, online ranked or exhibition team matchmaking, various arenas, color palettes, music tracks, background patterns, and ball designs. VIDEOBALL is all offense. VIDEOBALL is all defense. VIDEOBALL: it?s all a highlight reel.

Pharaonic ($15.99)
Pharaonic is an unforgiving sidescrolling Action-RPG set in Ancient Egypt. Explore a vast kingdom full of dangers and brutal enemies while you find the truth behind Ahmosis I, the Red Pharaoh. Pharaonic takes the excellent combat design of Dark Souls and adapts it to a faster paced side-scrolling environment. Use your shield to block and parry incoming attacks, manage your stamina and wait for your chance to attack and defeat your enemies. A single mistake can be fatal, so stay on your toes to avoid making any.
