I'm intrigued based on any resemblance to OOTW but I don't think it looks that great in those screens. Why is it acceptable for today's 2d games to look so much more cheap and amateurish on average than games 20 years ago? Being budget-priced isn't an excuse.
"Cheap"? I think they look gorgeous, myself. A little self-consciously "16-bit" and pixelated, but I think that is the Superbrothers' style.
To each his own.
I'm especially excited after reading the Superbrothers manifesto on game design that Bacon linked to. Less talk more rock, indeed.
Neo, I think you're just looking at the big-pixel style and missing everything else that's going on. The color usage and environmental design is accomplished as hell. Just because something uses fat pixels doesn't make it inherently cheap and amateurish.
Maybe. I do want to see it in motion. I hate those tree trunks, though. ;)
This looks really nice. iPhone/iPad, though? :|

I somehow missed that when I clicked on it this morning. I do like the walking through water part.
That video looked amazingly boring. I want to like this game but god, that video is dull.

It's out now.
Download it.
It's beautiful.
I went to look this up and remembered it's only on iPad right now. Probably won't work on my phone anyway. Oh well.
