If you don’t normally check out Xbox Live Indie Games on your Xbox 360, then this little contest might give you some incentive to do so.

If you can set the world record score in the indie shmup You Will Die by August 1, you will be awarded 10,000 U.S.-based Microsoft Points (that’s $125).  Second place will be awarded 1,600 Microsoft Points while third place will receive 400 Microsoft Points.

All submissions will have to follow the Twin Galaxies guidelines and must be received by August 1.  The current high score is 10,538,510, set by Todaysforgotten.

If you don’t already own the game, you can download it for 80 Microsoft Points via this link.  Inquiries regarding the contest can be sent to info@deadpixelarcade.com.
