Music by Disasterpeace? I'm in. I hope it ends being successful enough to make a Vita version possible.

The floor is jelly of the roof because people look up to the roof while they walk all over the floor.

I'm super excited for this Thursday with both this and Octodad coming out.

From early impressions, I've heard that TFIJ gets all FEZ like at some point

Adorable, but for some reason I felt a tinge of nausea towards the end of the trailer...

Looks nice but I hope they incorporate the premise into the gameplay itself. From the trailer it looked to me as if it was just regular puzzlin' n' plaformin' and by the way the ground is like jelly.

@kenpachiramasama:

No-one even mentioned Phil Fish. They just said it gets FEZ-like (which we assume means it just has layers of complexity underneath its surface-level platforming mechanics). That's all that happened. Then you were like WHAT IT'S A SHIT GAME HURR

Your opinion was not asked for or called for. FEZ was used as a point of comparison. That's all that happened. And you used it as a springboard to voice your distaste for FEZ. The conversation was not moving that way. You just apparently launch into an anti-FEZ tirade at the drop of a hat.

I don't want to, like, make assumptions or anything, but if everything actually was jelly I'm pretty certain it'd be far more terrifying than this game is making it out to be.

Back on topic: This must be some seriously processed jelly. It's really more gelatin than anything. But I'll let it slide because what am I talking about here. Looks like fun!

The Floor is Cow Hooves. COOOOW HOOOOOOOVES!

Anyway, this looks potentially cool, but unless I'm missing something, the jelly-ness of everything doesn't seem to really effect your movement. There was a little hint that you could jump multiple times in one spot which would make you go progressively higher, but the rest was normal wall jumps and moves we've seen a lot in other games. Seemed more like a slower, obviously more friendly, Super Meat Boy where the platforms are just wobbling around like crazy.

I was going to compare this to SMB on acid but then I realized that SMB on acid would be absolutely terrifying. But I like jelly and platformers, so I might be up for this one.

If everything was jelly that seems like it'd be pretty sticky and gross and it's making me uncomfortable just thinking about it.

...

This, on the other hand, seems delightful!

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. If it was actually jelly it would be more of a squelch and then falling into it and it would be gross.
