TotemBall has finally arrived,nearly half a month after Microsoft started giving away the game with their Vision Camera.

The version of the the game I played seemed to have some kinks, but that was way back in September and I suspect that might be why it was so very delayed. Hopefully Microsoft and the Arcade crew polished up the game for its release today.

The game, which you'll have to download through Arcade if you have the camera, features six game modes:

TotemBall: Camera-controlled platforming gameplay. Gamers control the characters in the game by moving their hands in the air and gesturing in front of the camera
Juggling: Co-op juggling game with one player using Xbox Live Vision and the other player juggling totems with the controller.
Pinball: Play any of the bonus pinball tables that have been unlocked through regular TotemBall play
Freeplay: Explore the game with no time pressure and infinite lives.
Super Challenge: Play the entire game with one life and a time limit in each level.
TotemJam: Freely mix and match the game's musical totems.
