Eugh, Ryan's use of the word momentum really annoyed me. If you always fall down whenever you let go of the 2 button then clearly momentum isn't conserved.

Trivia: "And yet it moves" is what Galileo Galilei said after the Inquisition made him deny his heliocentric theory. He meant that even with all the pressure to accept the Chuch's geocentric-theocentric views, the Earth still moved. 
 
I'm downloading this game through the Wii Shop Channel right now (1000 Points). I was waiting for the Wii version, because it supposedly comes with some extras and a more refined control scheme :)

I played some of this on PC - but the music gets pretty boring which means the gameplay feels a bit dry after a while. Basically like playing a game with little to no sound - not that fun when you are playing by yourself.

You didn't really watch the video then. Your momentum is still in initially in the direction you were moving when you rotate the world.

also, small developer or non small developer, the animation in this game is crap, and lazily crap.
...like some-thirteen-year-old-messed-with-flash-tweening bad. 

No it isn't "stylish", it's lazy.

Not sold on the art style but looks cool. I wonder if the Wiimote will work with the PC version.

This was great on the PC last year. Really weird game, but good for about 3 hours. Later levels got really frustrating though, with elaborate rotating wheel-like structures.

The concept of the game is neat, but it has no momentum. If you're constantly pausing the game to turn, it just seems slow and void of skill.

This game was developed in Vienna, by a group of (then) students of the same university I'm studying at. :) It's a great game!

This is a bummer because turning stops time... that removes the quick decisionmaking aspect of it.

@Dedodido:  I hardly know anything about physics, but doesn't that depend on what the player is actually rotating? If you consider the player to be rotating the little paper guy and the direction of gravity then the guy's direction changes, seemingly without respect to his previous direction meaning his momentum is not conserved, as you say. However, if the player rotates the level itself, the guy is always falling in the same direction meaning his momentum is, in fact, conserved while the player pauses and rotates the room. That sounds good and sciency, right?
Though in fairness Ryan kept referring to it as changing gravity.

Looks pretty cool. Although this rarely happens to me with video games, this is getting me kind of dizzy. Hopefully it is different playing it then watching it.

I really enjoyed this game on PC.  It has a pretty unique style both visually and conceptually, and the gameplay is precise and has a good difficulty progression.  Definitely worth a purchase in my opinion.

This. Momentum is not the same as gravity. If you knew what you were talking about, you would understand that momentum is "clearly" the appropriate term.
 
Also, it's the 1 button.

This seems like a rad game.  I love the sounds and the art style.  I'm going to pick this up.

Played it on PC (got it with the Indie Love bundle. Or the humble indie bundle, I dunno which one...) but I really didn't like it.

Gameplay seems cool, but I think the game looks UGLY. Sure, the art style is...unique...but also ugly. Ew. Doesn't sound too great, either.
