This looks really good. I'll probably pick it up if it shows up on Steam.

I'm not a big platformer guy, but if the game's music sounds like that, I will play it.

Not a video game, but Remus2008 of Youtube 'fame' has made some bitchin' paper renditions of video games.

As for Pid, looking great, but I noticed they didn't actually show any gravpad gameplay in the final section. WHAT ARE YOU HIDING!!!

I think "And Yet it moves" might qualify as that. Lume (IGF finalist) has some similarities to that art style as well.

The artistic design of this visually and audio wise is absolutely stunning. The gameplay however, I just have to wait till I play it for my self.

Another South Park video game? But done as the way they used to make South Park animation?

Interesting gameplay: reminds me of Portal 2's Excursion Funnels.

Now thats a game that not only looks good, but most likely plays good as well. I'll be on the look out for this for sure.
