This just reminds me that it's been about two years since I bought AYIM in an early Humble Bundle, and I've yet to play it. Is it even worth it at this point?

No. And yet it moves is awful.

Yes, it's worth it. You find out whether the mechanics of rotating the world click with you or not very early. Same with the art style. It's definitely something different and I think interesting.

I was bored with that game and the whole mechanic of turning the world just wasn't fun. Try it and see it for yourself.

@Sin4profit: I thought And Yet I Moves gameplay idea was unique but like so many puzzle platformers they shy away from pointless addicting subsystems like the coins in Super Mario or Scoring your time, which (as they discussed on the podcast this week) is the best way to keep someone playing if you don't have a RPG progression.

While it's pretty, I have zero interest.

I played this at PAX Prime and it was one of my favorite games. It was less crowded than the Nintendo booth so I got a lot of time with the GamePad.

The game is similar to Pac-Man Verses and the Luigi game on Nintendo Land. 4 people have a regular controller and 1 person has the GamePad and controls the Ice Bird. That person can fly anywhere around the map while looking on the GamePad screen and the other birds must stay together on the TV. There is no dynamic split screen, I believe if you fly off the TV screen you just get an arrow on the corner The 4 birds need to escape the ice bird's attack and find a fire ball in the map that they can fly around with and burn the ice bird. The 4 win by burning the ice bird and the ice bird winds by freezing all the birds on the screen. The game also has a single player but I think the developer told me that multiplayer is the focus.

I loved the art style of this game, especially compared to And Yet It Moves. I think it will be one of the gems of the launch lineup,

And Yet it Moves is a fantastic game!

Wii version is superior, though. Controls way better.

Well, that doesn't look interesting whatsoever.

The previous trailer they put out, however, was fantastic:

@BeachThunder: Game's got multiple modes. Some might not shine as brightly, but early indie support on the Wii U eshop is quite encouraging

Extremely annoying flapping sounds.
