So surprised that this helped push me over the edge to try the game myself. I've been keeping an eye on Macaw's threads on gamengai and Postback for a while, but his gushing alone had not been enough to make me rush out and try it.
And sure enough, after a couple of credits I can say with some certainty that this is a solid two-star game. As in I am happy to give this game this rating, and not in the grudging way I have given it to several "indie" games in the past (note, however, that this is not an "indie" game -- it is a real game). In fact I have decided that, believe it or not, I had been too lenient when rating "indie" games in the past, and plan to reconsider my ratings, starting with Spelunky, which I'll downgrade to one star as soon as I get the chance. Because there's no way in hell Spelunky could be ranked on the same level with this game. Braid maybe, VVVVV certainly, and perhaps also Limbo (which I haven't tried yet), but certainly not Spelunky. The original one at any rate -- we'll see about the remake.
Anyway, mini review coming soon, in the meantime you can get the game here:
