This is the most interesting game I've seen in a long time.

Yeah, can't wait to play that. Bruce is a really talented man, and has pretty much shut himself away for 4 years working on that. I just need a new computer so I can play it. Don't think my old laptop will be up to it.

OMG HEAD BANG HEAD BANG......

I totally agree with him on what he said about Japan, as I had the same impression!

10 HOURS!!!!!!!!!!

I am glad that people like the texture approach, as I was concerned doing that would get negative feedback ^^ I like how he has done the blending and light colours...

I think I will very much be buying this! Thank you for sharing it!

The old demo is still available:

Not sure how much has changed since then (besides the name), but it's still worth playing the demo.

Yeah I think detailed textures would have been distracting. It's not like it looks bad, it's nice and clean, just very simple.

The game is awesome. It can definitely be frustrating at times though.

I've been sat here for three hours straight and I think I might go back in before the day is through! I don't want to say too much because it really is something you have to experience for yourself, but I'm really impressed with this. Not only is clever and bizarre it's also very well coded. All the mechanics work consistently and make you forget you are in a game, more like a crazy dream!

In fact the mechanics are so consistent that sometimes I feel like I'm cheating but then I think there is no such thing as cheating in this game.

I bought this this afternoon and have started playing it, definitely worth the money. The game is slightly mad, I've found I've been doing okay so far by not thinking logically...and then sometimes you've got to think logically. I did feel like I was cheating earlier when I built myself a bridge, but I think I'm probably supposed to feel that way because it's trying to play with your expectations.

But I think you describe it correctly Obese, a 'crazy dream'.

This game is pretty messed up. I thought I was doing it right, but then I watched some of Giant Bomb's quick look, and they went in a completely different route than I. I thought it was more linear, but you can't even think of this kind of game in a linear-non linear way. My head hurts

Beat it!

Yeah! it's so nonlinear it's crazy... just, you can do the same thing a hundred different ways. Steam says I have 3 hours logged. I looked at the speedruns after I beat it... Lets just say you can get to the end (and I mean, to the sign that says, "The end") in about 2 minutes...

I am going to sit around and try to figure that one out. The game is already frustrating me, it keeps punishing me for doing things the right way.

Like Jeku, my head hurts.

reminds me of when I was younger, I made a doom2 map that was insanely difficult and bet my brothers $10 they couldn't make it to the end($10, no measly sum). after trying for an hour they gave up and declared it impossible. Not so, I started the level, turned around and walked two steps to the exit behind the start marker.
