Quick Look: Cloudberry Kingdom

Kevin Sorbo aka Hercules is the voice of the hero in this.

Looks like fun.

This seems pretty sweet but also infuriating.

It's an insane game. Tried it in the Sony booth at SDCC and when the guy turned EVERYTHING all the way up, the level produced looked like it would make a bullet hell shooter weep. The dev did try it some and was progressing. When I played it at a more sane autogen setting, it felt challenging but fair.

The start of this quicklook is hilarious !

This looks pretty good for an iphone platformer....

This looks fucking terrible; also, this looks kinda great.

"An insane Kickstarter-funded hardcore platformer by Pwnee Studios."

"Pwnee"

Whyyy?

Do you know what it derives from or you just being butthurt without knowing and only assuming?

Drews screams from the control room had me dying at my desk. Well done. This needs to be on Unprofessional Fridays this week!

Waiting for the Cap'n Crunch branded version.

I ended up doing the pre-order for this on PSN for $8 on a whim earlier this week, and I'm enjoying this game more than I expected. The art style is whatever, but playing it is a lot of fun!

If you are just watching, some of the levels just look like complete madness, but most of the levels seem to be generated such that if you immediately start running to the right and don't stop for nothing (so it's great for Jeff!), you have a path to make it through the madness, assuming your reflexes are good enough.

I thought that was the case! Good to know I wasn't just crazy. (Ah, I see they go through the credits at the end.)

@everettescott: Obviously not, do enlighten me! On their website they say it's referencing a "tea bag receptical."

So fuck off?

The hero looks like Karl Pilkington!

Going into E3, I figured this ge had nothing more to it than hard platforming. Couldn't have been more wrong. Lots of cool stuff in this!

This game looks awesome, but definitely not for me. If I played it, I think at some point I'd just smash my computer to pieces.

I'd watch a TNT of this.

Game looks great, but when I played the trial, I did not enjoy the feel of it at all. That hero editor thing looks like it would be a great way to fix that.

Also, softer than baby shit

I don't know. I like the idea of this and the mechanics, but the look just completely kills it for me.
Looks like some free flash game.

I'm bummed they didn't go back and play the bungee mode, that would have been awesome with the 4 of them. Maybe in some future content...? ;)

I know right? The Bungee game mode is one of the best ideas for a multiplayer platformer I've seen for awhile.

Craziness!

Haha. I love Drews outbursts from the control room.

This looks awesome.

Driving assistance lines for a massacore game?? Genius.

Looks great, you guys should play this on TNT.

The faint Drew cries were fantastic

I was excited for this after E3, but this looks terrible.

The fact that the karacter has to have a beard is just great

I really wish they had at least tried the bungee mode.

Guys...I DON'T think that was actually Jeff playing at the beginning of the game...I'm gonna look into this, I'll report back when I know more!

I believe he's quoting the bombcast crews response, or more directly - the late and great Ryan Davis's response to the stupid name of this studio.

Also, I'm butthurt because this game has zero appeal to me. I'm tempted to post that really creepy/funny video doc/trailer from the dudes who made this.

I really, really hate the look of this game, but the music is good and the idea is really awesome.

Just got to world 6, and it's really easy to just go into zen mode after a few minutes.

So this game plays in the Mortal Kombat universe?

looks a little too flash gamey

Looks alright, but not a fan of the way they handle increased difficulty.

Super Meat Boy set the standard for modern, challenging, platformers. SMB was difficult because of its intelligent level design. This on the other hand is more difficult because they just layer more of the same obstacles on each level.

You've been playing too much Mortal Kombat.

Looks a lot better then I was expecting actually. Definitely going to pick this up now.

It looks decently fun but I cannot get past that art style. It looks like a bad Flash game. It's so bad.

Looks pretty good. Steam-sale worthy at least.

EDIT: Also, catchy music goes a long way in a platformer.

This looks like a flash game

Bought it over XBLA and am currently stuck in Level 61 ^^

the ability to mess with the gameplay settings makes this worth 10 bucks. No save SUCKS though.

This looks like it will be a great multiplayer drinking game.

It just doesn't look as polished and fun as Super Meat Boy. I'm probably gonna skip it.

May the Drew be with you

The art is really meh

I don't get it, I mean... it looks ok. But the art is really painful for me.

I AM DYING! I wasn't sure about this QL, but man that intro sold me.

Also, count me in on the 3 man QL's being the future. They are great and paradoxically allow the person playing the game to focus on that, rather than trying to fill the dreaded dead air, despite having more people (and comments) to address.

Drew's pain is great here.

I'm interested in hearing a situation where 'pwn' isn't pronounced 'pone'. Maybe it's a reference to 'oni'? 'Onii'? Some unfortunate acronym, perhaps?
