I've been interested for awhile, I'm going to try out a demo first:

Wrong forum, sorry guys.

I will buy, just to support indies. just gotta buy more spacebucks.

Someone said it was basically Portal with a Victorian twist. I can get down with that. The soundtrack is pretty great from what I've heard.

It's ok, I'd say its more like Braid than Portal. I prefer Axel & Pixel.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #5 on:** February 17, 2010, 11:22:29 AM »

Isn't Axel and Pixel a point-and-click?

Yeppers

Really liked the demo. I am going to go purchase some Spacebucks to nab this.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #8 on:** February 17, 2010, 02:42:13 PM »

This game is awesome, and I'm already stumped!

Herr Mafflard · « **Reply #9 on:** February 17, 2010, 02:47:28 PM »

yeah that trailer made it look like there's some crazy puzzles.

my braaain is fearful of this game... I will approach it with trepidation

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #10 on:** February 17, 2010, 03:01:46 PM »

It's pretty fun, and this was from someone that couldn't really get into Braid.

GoofyGoober · « **Reply #11 on:** February 17, 2010, 03:25:27 PM »

Damn, and I only have 400 space bucks left.

Sort of OT: Is BF1943 worth a purchase at 800pts?

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #12 on:** February 17, 2010, 03:27:09 PM »

Yeah, it's awesome. People still play it. If you nab it, you can probably some of the old gang of Zero Hero, Kestastrophe, Eel, Manabyte, Eric P, myself, etc. to play with you.

Just be aware as soon as Bad Company 2 hits next month, it will probably be a GHOST TOWN.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #13 on:** February 17, 2010, 03:51:59 PM »

Can't I like both?

... P.B. Winterbottom gives me that same challenge that Portal did by throwing puzzles at me that appear to be simple, but are challenging nevertheless. The art direction, music and humor are pretty great. I love the dialogue ("Applesauce and Marmadukes!").

XBL Arcade releases are ridiculous this year. I don't have the time or money for all this shit. Plus my harddrive hardly has any space left. SMH

Played demo, had some fun but am not big on uber puzzley stuff. Got talked into getting Braid and regretted it, not getting this though I'll admit the art style is pretty rad.

drew · « **Reply #16 on:** February 18, 2010, 01:48:09 AM »

looked at the preview shots and it looks interesting, not in a "this looks good" way but more of a "what the shit is this shit", then downloaded the demo

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #17 on:** February 18, 2010, 02:16:24 AM »

Good art direction confuses and frightens drew.

Bebpo · « **Reply #18 on:** February 18, 2010, 02:55:40 AM »

Will try the demo. Art looks good and I do enjoy these puzzler types.

Axel & Pixel was weird. I liked the demo but the game was sooooo budget. Reminded me of Samarost. Might get it eventually.

tiesto · « **Reply #19 on:** February 18, 2010, 09:43:45 AM »

Looks cool from the initial screenies, I'll d/l the demo.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #20 on:** March 05, 2010, 05:35:51 PM »

Aslo tried this one today. Also good.

Sort of like a less pretentious Braid although the game mechanics are conceptually very similar. I also think it does a better job of easing you into the mechanics and teaching you the game concepts than Braid did. Very charming. Lots of personality.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #21 on:** March 05, 2010, 05:46:26 PM »

It is my second favorite game of the year.

Bildi · « **Reply #22 on:** March 05, 2010, 06:11:23 PM »

I didn't think anyone bought this!

I bought it a week or two ago but haven't played much past the demo yet. I really enjoy it. I liked Braid too, skipped all the text bits. This has a much more enjoyable story.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #23 on:** March 05, 2010, 07:11:20 PM »

I bought it day one, and I beat it over a week. I'll probably try and beat some of the outtake levels once Battlefield-mania dies down. I really loved it, and this is coming from someone who couldn't really get into Braid.

I will probably pickup whatever these guys do next.
