It's been a long time coming. A long, long time, and still no release date in sight. But indie adventure/platformer Owlboy looks worth the wait.
This video, released over the weekend, showcases both the music of composer Jonathan Geer and the game's charming art style, which for want of something more descriptive reminds me of a Genesis version of Wind Waker.

DISCUSSION
I am now certain that Owlboy was inspired by Wonderboy of Tenacious D.

There sits Owlboy sitting oh so proudly
OOOOOOOOOWLBOY! WHAT IS THE SECRET OF YOUR POWWEEEEeeEers
And yes I've been waiting for this game for far too long. I'm hoping it's not such a massive personal disappointment as Fez was.
