This game makes me nervous.
 
It looks nice, but I don't like the gameplay.

I tried the demo and the music stuck with me more than the game itself.

I've been playing this and it's frustrating, but not in a good way. It's frustrating because the controls are horrible.

The art style has some resemblance with the drawings of the dutch illustrator Fiep Westendorp. 
She did almost al the drawings for the (also dutch) author of children's books, Annie M.G. Schmidt.

the gameplay looks clumsy and it just seems weird how the game moves so slow while you are frantically trying to keep it going.

I enjoyed the demo enough to purchase it.
Weird game... makes you kinda' sad.
Very short though. Not sure if I'll bother with trying for the rest of the fireflies.
 
Hmmm... a sad little artsy game that's worth playing for the experience.

Anyone else get Queensrÿche stuck in their head whenever they look at the title?
 
The design is great enough that I'd probably spring for it.  Vinny said it himself, it's frustrating but manageable.  I can imagine this not being good enough for some folks, though, and the Schmaltz might be a bit difficult to deal with if it was only hitting one note.

What did Vinny mean by saying "Lucidity is the Citizen Kane of gaming"? Would be interested in that opinion as a film student...

Well he gave the game 3 stars so I'm guessing that was just a sarcastic comment. I certainly don't think Lucidity is the greatest, most innovative, most influential game of all time.

It was a sarcastic comment against IGN who said Metroid Prime was the Citizen Kane of gaming

Doesn't the PC version of this have mouse control? I might buy that version instead if it does, might make things less hectic.

Way into the look of this game. They should just make a straight platformer with these looks and music. I'd be down.

Above and beyond any of the gameplay issues, I like the art style and it is LucasArts. That company doing anything besides Star Wars is always a good thing. It means they may be more willing to revisit their adventure game roots.
