Where did this come from? It came outta nowhere! It's made by the Puzzle Quest guys and seems to have the same game mechanics so it should be pretty good. I'm a little weary of it since no previews or details were ever made about it though. Plus, Galactrix left a bad taste in my mouth.

It's on Steam now for $19.99. Who's gonna take the plunge?!

It's not up on torrents. :( I wish Viz were on, he'd buy it. He's a whore for these games.

It looks like a BigFishGames version of Puzzle Quest.

I would buy it if it was on XBLA

I was looking for info on this back when Galactrix came out.  I recall seeing it mentioned in a Game Informer about a year ago in one of their shitty 1/4 page previews, and then never seeing it mentioned anywhere again.

I wonder what the deal is.  If it was a cheap knock off, I could understand it going under the radar, but it's done by the same people?

"From the Creators" probably means, "From one guy who left the company". I don't think it's the same studio

Nah, it is.  I think they have forums--I'mma take a peek over there and see if there's a story to this.

Steve Fawkner himself said he is surprised this released, and that the PC version was supposed to come out after the DS version (which I guess is shipping in a few weeks).  He says he will get a PC demo out as soon as possible.

And he did:
