This looks awesome. I'd love to see more first person puzzle games.

I actually just played the demo for this yesterday. Hope to see a little more in this quick look, and have the game prove itself to be a bit more interesting than what I saw.

Man I love this game, I haven't even played it and I love this game. Shame about the length but then again it's got 'Quick' right in the name and well, too much of it could be bad thing.

Love how it is one seamless thing. Reminds me of all the abstract woolen rooms I made in Minecraft, love the way it looks obviously.

Also, Vinny telling colors is like me solving tests I don't know the answer to - process of elimination and guesswork :)

For anyone curious, the devs want to get a simple level editor done, so that might extend the longevity of the game quite a lot.

Reminds me of what P.N. 03 can look like on a computer. http://deadendthrills.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/GPNE08-901.jpg Though mine didn't look quite as gorgeous it was close.

Certainly very impressive visually and stylistically. The puzzle-solving might drive me quite mad but that's probably more my bias than anything else.

Anybody remember that old Intelligent Qube game? I was kind of hoping this was some sort of update to that, but it seems unrelated.

I'm pretty sure I've seen Vinny giving a game more props if it has a colorblind mode in it. So it probably does effect the reviews. Not in a negative way though I wouldn't think, just if they put an option in to help out that they get extra kudos.

Quote Uninspiring Bastards Excessively?

Qualify Under Base Expectations?

Not going to win any contests with those but at least they're out there =D Sounds like a surefire way to fail a job interview, though!

Downloaded a beta of this ages ago but never played it, Looks like they've got some nice and inventive puzzle design and chose visuals that complemented them while still retaining an identity of their own (despite unavoidable Portal comparisons). Utmost respect for puzzle game designers, I can barely solve half of them; Can't even begin to imagine creating my own from scratch.

Oh my god, a PC game game being played by Giantbomb with vsync enabled? Are my eyes deceiving me? Thank you for finally using vsync. Also, the SSAO (screen space ambient occlusion) in this game really looks good. I think this game is one of the best examples of how much SSAO can make a game look better. Without it, all the blocks wouldn't appear to have as much dimension in space as they do. I think what Brad and Vinny were trying to say about the art style of the game is it's a good example of minimalistic design. A cross between pop art and minimalism. Looks like a fun and quirky puzzle game. I might have to check this one out.

Don't know if it's the moving walls/floors, but this is the first game vid to ever give me a noticeable headache. Looks like a neat game though.
