No, you're right. Gish was out in 2004, two years before LocoRoco hit Japan. LR reminded me a lot of Gish, but to be honest they played totally differently.

@Jawajoey:
It's not all unintentional. In the original with different buttons you could become sticky to climb or pick things up, jump (also good for throwing things on top of you), become heavy and dense at will, or become slippery to fit through small cracks.

But it kinda creeps me out.

Once when I was a kid, I was playing with some little spiked balls I found "glued" in some corner... it suddenly burst and hundreds of little spiders came crawling out....

I think I have a trauma ever since. Scares the hell out of me.

I don't associate that thing with any sort of physical object I'm familiar with.

Loco Roco had mostly circular blobish things that could bounce and roll downhill. That makes sense. But this flying apart and walking on walls, and doing flips... It's not realistic enough for me to think "Oh wow, that looks just like a blob moving around," and it's too foreign for me to go "Wow, that's doing all this cool stuff I want to do."

It just looks like an interesting thing to control, but it will take learning and getting used to. Without any sort of intuition about what you're doing with this blob, this game really doesn't seem to have much else to be interesting.

This was "the Secret Song" ... A song they were working on with other Disco Volante songs, but they kept it secret from one of the Horn Players (I think) ... he later found it, and recorded those old-man sounding vocals on top of it...
