Wow. I can totally dig this. The gameplay style seems interesting and the visual style rocks just as hard as LocoRoco. I'm pretty sure this'll be a purchase for me.

@krunkjuice: Did you really need to throw that flame in there?

This is nice. A rhythm game that isn't about people too lazy to learn an instrument playing fake instruments.

I loved DJMAX 1&2 but thank god for a rhythm game that isn't just pressing buttons on queue.
This reminds me a tiny bit of Vib Ribbon. I can just imagine later on flying through levels like Sonic, banging out a rhythm on the buttons to keep going and taking out baddies... cool!

I guess the video would have made more sense if I knew Japanese. They really need to have some sort of smart ads going on, though. A Wii fishing game in front of a video for a PSP game, what the hell?

Just from that tiny shot above, it looks very reminiscent of Loco Roco. Seems the clean, solid vector look with singing characters is in at the moment. And that's a good thing :)

I saw this and was rather amused by it. If anything Ill be picking it up since its one of the more original titles on the show floor, plus the art direction is totally spiff.

@Aglet:

I dont think theres any relation besides a similar artstyle.Gagne's "Frenzied Fauna: From A to Z" book can be viewed free online if you dig this type of artwork.Its on his official site.

I really cant wait for this game to come out. I dont know what is it lately but "flash art" if thats what people are calling it. Really just seems to add to the fun.

I also played it yesterday and I can't help but to say it's boring as hell. Even if you get the rythm right, it's just either pushing your creatures forward or attacking. Cutesy 'n' all, but not really enjoyable.

Of course, I also disliked LocoRoco.

Is this has this anything to do wwith insanely twisted shadow planet?
The looks are similar to that game... But as far as I know that game had no publisher.

If the woman dressed in white to help me with the rhythm comes along with the game I'm sold hehe.

Now, in all seriousness, this kinds of games with good marketing could tap really well into the casual gamer craze going on right now.

If that's an actual screenshot and the game does have that sorta flash / simple feeling to it, it totally rocks.
