    wow! i mean, i hold braid in high regards because its a well done platformer.. and it was definitely refreshing for the times... but i wasnt too into the visual aesthetics.


    this game however, looks just like something off of the snes! the music was so good that i watched the trailer twice just to hear it again.


    honestly, the soundtrack makes me even more excited for this.. i always like having good music in the background for a fun game.


    im really loving the era of games were in now where people can make these kinds of games, and take us back to the feel of the classics with it being something entirely new.


    first cave story and noitu love*, then fez*, owlboy*, aboy and his blob, and now this. good times for 16 bit platformer fans.


    *hopefully these all show up on some console.

    @shouryuuken: Noitu Love is boring. It looks damn exciting, but mouse clicks turn what should be an amazing Gunstar Heroes style game into Duck Hunt. :/


    Platformer fans hardly get but a handful of games each year. Indie development is making things okay, but I'd hardly say it's a great time or anything. Hopefully Shadow Complex will make it okay for developers to do 2-D playing games again since it looks incredible.

    Website says PC only for now. If Snapshot can't find its way to PSN/XBLA, hopefully they'll still consider an XNA port.

    Wow. Looks and sounds neat in the same way Braid did when I first saw it. I'd buy it!

    If I made a game where the blue square had to save the purple triangle from his evil brother the yellow hexagon, will people like it?

    Maybe I'll add a token black circle to sweeten the deal.

    *goes off to work*

    Speaking of indie games, I haven't seen much news about that wiiware cavestory port. I PRAY that it is still in production; to here the title music of cave story on a Nintendo Console (while holding a club nintendo super nintendo controller) would be pure and utter gaming bliss.

    @Grisaille - It's Morphin(e) Time, Mother Fucker!: If you're actually interested in learning, I'd recommend trying out Game Maker. It's designed to be really easy to use, and there's lots of in-depth tutorials, but it's actually rather powerful once you learn how things work. Plus, if you ever want to go on to a "real" platform, the program's scripting language is based on C, so you'll be getting some experience with that.
