I guessed this would go for 14 mins - I was pretty close :P

Also, this looks pretty alright.

Don't look like fractals to me.

gbradingon Dec. 2, 2011 at 6:31 a.m.

Got to say, this looks excellent. For a little game, it has a great sense of style.

byterunneron Dec. 2, 2011 at 6:32 a.m.

So I guess Brad and Jeff just kinda sat down and played like...3 games and made the QLs...

I don't get this game at all. Too slick and doesn't look terribly fun.

Jonnyflash80on Dec. 2, 2011 at 7:11 a.m.

Cool game. I love the art style and the animations are super slick. I will probably pick this up.

Digging the soundtrack. Cool how pushing and making blooms adds to the melody too.

This looks really neat. I might try this sometime :)

Saw it in the App Store and came really close to buying it, might do it now.. (Although through Steam.)

@onan: How can something be too slick?

DG991on Dec. 2, 2011 at 7:47 a.m.

Cool, I know the developers in real life :D It's cool seeing the final product on GB's site.

Dalaion Dec. 2, 2011 at 7:57 a.m.

Two things I learned. Fractal looks pretty cool and Gary Whitta was playing Modern Warfare 3 during the Quick Look.

Dopeeon Dec. 2, 2011 at 8:28 a.m.

Looks pretty cool. Not something I'd buy though I think

I admit, I also made the "YOU DEFEATED" joke when Jeff beat one of the levels. Really, every game should use that.
