Quick Look: Airscape: The Fall of Gravity: The Fall of Long Quick Looks.

sweet

Oh god, I can't watch this. Sorry, but Jeff was right about the motion sickness.

I don't have problems with motion sickness, but I had to turn this off inside of a minute.

OH GOD VERTIGO!!!

the plural of octopus is not octopi its octopodes #themoreyouknow :P

Dan's innocent enthusiasm is so cute =3 Also, I like how "the time-y one" is treated as the official name after a couple of them.

I've never had the slightest hint of motion sickness from a game/video thereof. Is that a common thing?

That Quick Look was a refreshingly quick look. Game seems fun, and yeah @tgjessie I've never had that happen either.

This looks really neat.

I think there was a problem in uploading the video... only twelve minutes was uploaded.

@incslayer: While octopodes is still an acceptable pluralised form of octopus according to some dictionaries, the English standard pluralised form is actually octopuses, which is the most widely considered as "correct". The English language is weird =P

I didn't want to be "that guy", but I do find that fact interesting.

Cute Super Meat Galaxy? Seems neat.

Haha, this looks neat.

It's fun to hear Dan refer to this as similar to Super Mario Galaxy. I've been more of a PlayStation / Xbox bloke for the past... 14 years (time flies!). When I see something like this, I think "hey, this reminds me of Ratchet and Clank. They totally had weird gravity levels and small planetoid stuff, especially in the second game." Not saying that I didn't love Super Mario Galaxy, but it came out like four years after Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando. Fun as hell, but I'd seen the mold be broken prior. :-P

Yeah seems neat but i had to turn this off because of motion sickness, nothing like the Kane and Lynch 2 quick look though, ughhhh.

brb throwing up, that motion sickness

A short video is refreshing.

I don't get motion sickness. That rotation speed got real annoying though.

Actually find a short QL refreshing for this sort of game. An hour for Feist seemed way to long.

I agree with Jeff. This is more like Loco Roco. Or Aether by Edmund McMillen. Except less interesting than either one?

Holy shit this video. I could only watch about 2 mins before feeling super sick.

I for one had no motion sickness problems, and to this day I still get carsick if I sit in the back.

EDIT: Ok towards the end there I was starting to feel a little uneasy

No motion sickness here! In fact I wish it was longer. This game seems neat

Don't you tell me what my gravity can and can't do, Ava! #notallgravity

ooo looks fun :O

looks like a nice little platformer , definitely see the comparisons.

Jeff was definitely right about the motion sickness.

Ava was right, that is kind of a terrible name for a game.

@lazyimperial: Remember, @danryckert said he incorrectly thought he was too cool for Ratchet and Clank when they were stylish and recent games. So it's not hard to see why he thinks all games like this are Super Mario Galaxy-esque.

I liked the part at 10:40 when Dan passed the controller to Brad.

I've never heard of 'octopuses' before.

Hmm.. No mention of And Yet It Moves? I don't normally get motion sickness but this was a tough one.

Got motion sick after 2 minutes. Dan Ryckert is a jackass.

@eccentrix: I think that's why I find that to be so interesting/weird, if I hadn't been told otherwise I would have never thought it to even be acceptable. It definitely feels weird to say, but apparently that's the word most (if not all?) scientists would use, and they're probably a lot smarter than I am!

Seems utterly boring. Mario Galaxy is cool, octopi are cool but this does nothing for me.

The Wiki's information on the plural of "octopus", which contains citations:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plural_form_of_words_ending_in_-us#Octopus

If the video had gone much longer I probably couldn't have made it through, lest my head start to strain. Making it a quick Quick Look was probably a good call.

Lol, Ava's steam message right at the end.

Is this the quickest quick look?

I didn't get motion queasiness from this at all, but I did get an urge to purchase this game. Looks neat!

This looks great! Absolutely love challenging 2D platformers, AND Super Mario Galaxy.

yeah.... wow.... haven't had this motion sickness since playing a top down driving game while in the back of a moving car.

Am I crazy, or do I remember gravity based planetoid jumping sections in Sonic Adventure Battle 2 before Galaxy came out?

No mention of the music? It sounds really good!

That's what I thought of when they started.

Awesome Quick Look! Going onto my backlog for sure.

You are not crazy, Sonic Adventure 2 on the Dreamcast was doing all of the Galaxy stuff in 2001.

Of course, Yoshi's Island was doing it in 1995.

I heard that on the Science Friday podcast. Pronunciation: oc-TOP-uh-deez.

Goddamnit. Can i just pretend Galaxy has nothing to do with Yoshi's Island or 3D Sonic?

the motion sickness is real

I'd imagine most people would naturally say "octopuses" before that one nerdy kid in middle school told everyone it was "octopi".

looks neat, that end level sound too is dope.
