Ok I haven't watched the vid at this time but that looks like a heartless from Kingdom Hearts.

Besides the fact that this thing and splosion man are both experiments, it looks nothing like splosion man...

Wow, the violence sure was unexpected. I would have thought they'd want to go for a lower ESRB rating given the game's initial style.

Depending on how this controls, this could either be a delight or really frustrating. Anybody have any clue as to how you actually play this? I'm guessing there's a pretty hard limit on how far you can warp, or else you'd just be bouncing across entire screens all of the time.

So they made a game revolving around the mage's "Blink" mechanic from WoW? 
 
Cynicism aside, it looks like it has potential. Every game needs a hook, and this one looks like it could encroach on some devious puzzles.

NOTE TO TRAILER EDITORS: I associate "In the Hall of the Mountain King" less with steadily-building mayhem and more with baby products/awful family movies, thanks to its overuse by advertisers

I love it when a game is cute and violent at the same time.

Looks pretty cool. I bet they could do some interesting things with warping in regards to puzzle/level design

Are you really going to credit the teleport mechanic to World of Warcraft?

Heh.  Yeah, really.  There are tonnes of characters out there that use teleport as a combat tactic.  Like Nightcrawler, for instance.
This game seems alright though, I dig the cute+violent disconnect like others here as well.  Hopefully it'll be fun.

Yes, yes he is. And the damage is already done as people have read it.

At what point did it become ok for cartoon dudes to enter inside peoples asses and expand?

This should be an M rating for sure.

Since around 1984... in Japan, at least.

I kind of agree, but it went great with this trailer. Also I'm norwegian som I'm slightly biased.  
 
Game looks great too, like already stated: The violence and cute cartoons works well together.

It looks like it could be a load of fun, but I really don't like the design of the creature.

Yeah, this was a really bad trailer. It's trying to sell us a character and not a game, and outside of the ability to make things explode they don't do much in the way of showing us the actual character!
