Double Fine Happy Action Theater (sometimes referred to as Happy Action Theater) is a casual video game developed by Double Fine Productions and distributed by Microsoft Game Studios. The title is a Kinect motion-sensing based title for the Xbox 360 and was released via the Xbox Live Arcade service in North America on February 1, 2012. Happy Action Theater is based on an idea that Double Fine's founder, Tim Schafer, had on devising a game that Lily, his two-year-old daughter (at the time), could play with. To this, the open-ended game is a collection of eighteen different modes that allow multiple players to interact in unique ways through the Kinect cameras and motion-sensing in an augmented reality shown on the console's display, such as playing in a giant virtual ball pit or walking through simulated lava.

This was pitched as a Kinect game to play when you're drunk, and I think you'd probably need to be to get much fun out of it. Essentially all it does is put you into various settings, an aquarium, a kaiju movie, etc. and let you flail around at things. The cloning game is the best one because at least you can try to set up some kind of weird scene with various poses. This game is really dependent on how good you and your, probably drunk, friends are at making your own fun, and even then I'd probably just play something else?
