These comments are now exclusively about "buttwits".

@viklanderviking: no, you're not the only one. I thought some of the numbers looked similar to Braid, and it is about time-travel; however, this game has been in the technical works for a while, so it's not like an all-out direct influence toward it (though they did mention in an interview that Mr. Blow gave them advice about emotional impact toward the character and what-not). I'd call it more of a mere coincidence in my view.

@viklanderviking: Not just you.  In fact, I am a little shocked no one mentioned Braid or the latest Ratchet.  Of course, it'd be rude to water down the work of the person in front of you so I get why they didn't, but there is clearly some similarity.

and that game looks very good.  I can't play it because it's only available on XBL, but maybe someday they might bring it to Steam or PSN.

Is it me or was there a bug that made the gate open while no one was on the button there? 
Anyway, game looks pretty awesome. The guys seem cool too. 
I do believe I have played a flash-version of this game on Kongregate at some point.

 Unlike most forms of entertainment, I find that video games are always on the rise in terms of quality.  I'm glad that guys like these are going to be making big budget games later on.

Well these guys have been making this game for well over 2 years(it was a student's graduate thesis). They first showed it of at E308 so Ratchet was in no way an influence(also I've seen some later game stuff from P.B. and Clank would shit his pants if he saw those puzzles) and the games look is completly different from Braid and the mechanics are also completly different. I dont think that Ryan and Brad though it would be rude to mention those games, theres simply no point to do so since Braid is completly different and P.B. is on a completly different level from the puzzles seen in ACIT.
