Luke you have helped Fez gain a new follower.

This looks totally awesome!

What system is this for and why can't I close my mouth??
Now where did my socks go?
~Peace~

What the cheese and crackers is that all about? Looks interesting.

That poor little guy has only one eye. :[

This probably the most innovative game I've seen since Portal.

Oh ma god I just gasmed.

amazing, echochrome just got owned ... doesnt matter, i'll probably get both.

What a lovely looking experience. And what a lovely sounding experience, too. God I love 8bit tunage.

this.

man, the things kids can do with scientific calculators these days!

. . . maybe it's fun, though. who knows.

reminds me of monster world iv.

i love monster world iv!

@Cozwic: and apparently, its destined for the 360, hopefully it hits the other systems, cuz a game with so much potential should not be stuck on just one system

First thing I thought of, just seeing the graphics, is "This looks kind of like Cave Story." My impression of it got even better as the video continued.

It's for the PC ... but, hey -- I think my PC could actually play it :D I'll definitely be watching this one!

I have had an eye on this game for a while.Crush from Zoe Mode is one of my fave games. I hope it has a good plot but the gameplay looks awesome. Put it on my PSP or PC and you have a sale.

...I think I'm blown away by the music as much as I am the gameplay.

It's just too good. Like 3tronik let loose in a NES.

It reminds me of Cave Story (i bet they're linked somehow)... but if Cave Story had 20% more awesome added.

Wow, this is wonderful!!!

Crush?

@108: Its more Cave Story + Crush=Fez

I'm pride.

What system is this for??

I can't find anything and already we have one guy saying only 360 and one saying only PC.

I really hope this gets released on the DS.

very good! im pride.

Quote of the year:

"Hats are great, try to get as many as you can."

Overall, I think the game bears an uncanny resemblance to 'Zero Wing'

@XeroTrinity: Crush is a great PSP puzzle game that deals with perspective.Itdid notsell well, i think it is due to the colors they used. Green,yellow and purple are not very good together.

"Please believe a new dimension"

I will Mr pirate.

This is just Crush with a 16bit look and sound. Not bad i say, looking forward to it. Crush was awsome!

Crush is a PSP game that has very similar platforming mechanics.

I had a similar rotating tower Game Boy gme years ago, but forgot its title...

I am...agape.

STOP THE PRESS STOP THE INTERNETSSSZ!
isnt it quite similar to Crush from Sega for PSP? even gameplay looks similar too.. ho wmany more ppl gonna make 2d>3d games like those..? echocrome is similar to those too...

Flippin' amazing. Pun intended. Better see this on a console.. or better yet.. MAC!

This game is like soul caliber 2 + SFII turbo from Morocco.

@Morberis: Video says use right/left triggers or bumpers to change perspective...that leads me to believe 360 port?

I wish Cave Story would come to home systems. That was the best game that I played for a while.

@Xaltmas: I second the motion

I'm digging it, even with the bad english and all, specially because the music sound like an 8-bit version of Labradford or This Will Destroy you and that makes it way too awesome.

I'm really liking how in general all these more bare-bones projects with small, dedicated dev teams are really pushing the medium forward.

All we can count on the mega-studios for are endless sequels (now with one additional enemy type and two new guns!) and crap-tacular movie tie-ins.

Give me this, ectochrome, patapon, even pixeljunk monsters any day over 90% of what's coming out in 2008.

Eh, I don't get all these people saying that this is 'innovative'. Mario really and truly did exactly the same thing and this would appear to be a blatant and unapologetic ripoff, right down to that mushroom at the end.

Having said that, this does look like a cool game, and I'm glad to see SPM's winning formula applied fully. Yes, I really just completely contradicted myself.

@whiptcracker: The dialog boxes include a green "A" indicator, so that's a pretty good assumption.

cavestory 2?

@XeroTrinity: Exactly what I was about to say.

Did everybody forget about this game?

Looks a little Mode 7'ish to me. All hail Pilotwings!!!

This is looking damn beautiful. To PC plix. D:

I should have guessed that if they guy could get away with accepting his award wearing a fez and monocle, the game would be awesome. I'd buy this in a heart beat.

Looks nice. I love the feedback system when your about to fall or you can't flip the camera because you hit something.

Very nice.

hmm, would it be an XBLA or an XNA game?

COUGH *rip off* COUGH

This looks way better than Echochrome while using some of the same basci mechanics..."if you can see it you can do it"

Im converted, completely love it!

This was a pleasant surprise. I liked how, when he jumped off the edge into the bottomless pit, he just reappeared at the beginning of the jump and didn't have to replay a huge chunk of the level. I also loved the fact that there were no enemies, so the challenge was purely about exploration and getting through the level. More games need to be like that.

"It takes what we thought was great about Super Paper Mario and blows it clean out of the water"?

That's odd, what I thought was great about Paper Mario was the Nintendo-related humour peppered throughout, yet that is distinctly lacking in Fez :P.

Lookg pretty awesome regardless, if a little more confusing re what you can stand on and what you can't than something like Crush.

@tehblacksheep234: It's ok because I completely agree with you >_>

@Dumad: Yes.. yes... because a mechanic can only be used once and if it also uses different mechanics from different games then I'm sure it's also derivative.
...
Why do so many gamers here like to slam creativity with hate? This is cool! What part of that don't you understand?!!

@tehblacksheep234: Yes, except that (imho) Super Paper Mario sucked. The platforming was no fun at all and, ironically enough, the 3D views were flat and lifeless. Rather than looking like a "real" 3D world that you'd sometimes see from a 2D perspective, it looked like a 2D world that was sometimes extended down the Z axis, without much more going on "behind the scenes". When the camera moves in this game, it looks like a real world, and I'm super excited to play this.

This is exactly what i thought super mario bros 4 would end up looking like on snes back in early 90's.

I want this game now! What's it coming out for?
