Yet again, another great example of how twitch streaming actually helps developers. I would have never heard about this game and never even bothered to click the link to this article, had I not already watched some people on twitch play it and think it looked like a lot of fun. Now having seen all that gameplay, I'm excited about this and I'm most likely going to pick it up.

I played the alpha a bunch a few months ago, and even though it was far from feature complete, I can confirm this game is a ton of fun. The developers patch the game pretty regularly and I'm pretty excited to see what I hope will be a long tail of support for the game after it is out of early access.

I feel that a trailer for a game going Early Access (as in, not actually finished) is maybe a bit weird.

Agreed. Although to me, "a bit weird" is understating it a little.

I honestly thought this game came out a long time ago and no one cared. I feel like I heard about it forever ago.

I agree. It just solidifies what feels like most Early Access games being actual releases that developers continue to work on whenever they feel like, which makes them "unfinished".

Wasn't too sure about this when I first heard about it, but this video makes it seem fun.

I watched this being played with DDR mats at Indiecade in February. It was a ton of fun to watch.

If that's a viable option for the actual game launch, I will play the hell out of this.

It definitely is, even in the current alpha build it has dance pad support implemented.

Yep, I played it at PAX East with a dance pad, and it was pretty fun then. If only I was enough of a dork to own a USB dancepad at home.

Been playing this on and off for the last few weeks. There's some definite mechanical complexity to the game, beyond just the madness of trying to play it and keep to the beat.

Needless to say, I am thoroughly looking forward to the Quick Look of this one. Gonna be a doozy, even if whoever's playing isn't going to be talking (and they shouldn't!)

@alyt9870: Yup. The only reason I even know about this game is because DannyB is involved.

I have never heard of this....It seems pretty awesome! Also not sure why but love the pun title. I think it helped I didnt read the video description closely, and got to hear the name shouted at the end of the trailer.

For those who don't know, this game's music is by Danny Baranowsky, the dude behind Super Meat Boy's music.

So, yeah. Get hyped.

There have been a number of casters playing it on Twitch and it looks great. A pretty interesting take on that genre.

I've also been waiting for this since I saw the first trailer here.
