Whatever the Hell Is Happening in Jazzpunk Looks Wonderfully Absurd

This is all anyone would talk to me about at PAX this year. Seemingly with good reason.

This game seems like it is right up Giant Bomb's alley. Kind of reminds me of those 2 weird games that 1 studio pumped out last year. everyone has super square heads and in one of them you start out delivering champagne at a party? They're super trippy and non-sensical... anyone?

Hunter S Thompson? Can they use his name and likeness without his estate suing them? Assuming Hunter S. Thompson has an estate left to sue.

@sylect: They've had the widget for a while. You can buy quite a few games through the humble store. A lot of them are either direct downloads or steam codes.

never thought I'd see Thunderbirds and Hunter S Thompson referenced in the same thing but I makes some sense that'd be in a JazzPunk trailer

They've certainly gotten my attention, but it's still hard to get excited about something when there is very little indication of how it actually plays.

I felt like this was somewhat like the Stanely Parable. There's a lot to do with little effect, the comedy is the purpose and it's super open ended.

@sylect: the Humble Store has been selling single indie games for a while now. Proteus and Cook, Serve, Delicious! is on sale there too.

Edit: ah whoops I didn't see that somebody answered this already. Yeah, they don't have a listing for all the games they sell, it's up to the developers to link the store pages from their own site.

@sylect: They've been doing that for well over a year now. There's no specific "Humble Store" but they sell individual games on the game's website using Humble's tools, and games are added to your Humble account.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

This is beautiful, even if the final game has nothing to do with Thunderbirds.

This thing looks so weird that in the middle of the trailer the Apple Software Update dialog box popped up right in the middle of the video box and for a good 10 or so seconds I thought it was part of the trailer.

does the fact that humble bundle is at the bottom at the end next to steam mean that they are going to start moving into doing single game store type sales? have i missed something?

I got to check this out this weekend, and it was a lot of fun. What we saw was genuinely funny, and there was an amazing little throwback to Goldeneye.
