You have no idea how disappointed I am that isn't the first comment.

lol = follow

I wonder if the PSN version will be compatible with Playstation Move.

1) flip the box diagonal

2)put the spring on it

3)drop the snowball on it

My take-away from the quick look: "now imagine if instead of taking pictures of objects to solve puzzles you were doing the same with Pokémon."

For the one you couldn't finish: Why didn't you just get momentum on the snowball then aim it at the box in mid-air and basically fling it at the box?

Also, the tunnel in that last mission you finished: Maybe just put the box next to it and crouch?

Game looks pretty cool. I think I'll pick it up when it comes out on the vita.

Yep. But hey, they showed off the mechanics well.

This is a lot different than I imagined it would be. Seems like a bunch of small changes could be a big improvement to.

Oh shit. Watching other people play puzzle platformers is really frustrating. This game looks great though.

The soundtrack reminds me of Craig David.

This would be a great Wii U E-shop game... with the Wii pointer moving the camera reticule around..

Puzzle games make for some rough Quick Looks sometimes.

Warning: 16:00 - 20:20 is EXCRUCIATING.

Great quick look convinced me I don't need to waste money/time on this game filled with finicky mechanics that barely work, its a shame, its a great mechanic brilliant idea really but indie guys I guess can only see SCORE ATTACK bullshit lately, this mechanic should have been put into a cohesive side scroller with level progression, fucking score attack shit ruining everything. If it wasn't a bunch of indie guys working on it maybe a studio would have taken the time to develop it the right way.

Overall what an annoying looking game, thanks again!

Also Patrick fans(they might exist?) should be called Kelpetomaniacs

Looks pretty neat!

@CookieMonster: Craaaaaaiiiiig Daviiiiiiid! Bo Selecta!

I have this and its a great game that gets hard. Right before Patrick said he fucked it up I said it.

It's a lovely little game. Really enjoying my time with it.

Nah, Patrick is just retardedly bad at it, game is fun.

I realized what the game mechanic reminds me of. Relevant at around 2:50.

Fat homosexual sex tourists?

I've been eyeballing this on Steam. Can't wait to check peep this out.

Aww I was hoping for some Vinny action.

I don't know that I'd call choosing between a mouse and a controller "risk/reward".

True. Mouse is all reward and no risk :)

Nice concept, but the puzzles themselves seem maddeningly frustrating.

...why's he playing with a controller?

Maybe it's from years of playing puzzle games, but I feel like I've been trained to see a lot of the solutions near immediately. Watching other people trying to find them is rough lol, especially that snowball puzzle.

He explained why in the video. Try keeping up.

Why would you chose a controller over a mouse? You can't move with WASD and jump with space while taking snapshots with the mouse???? Trying to snap the ball while moving sure showed how convenient the controller is

2D puzzle platformers are the new WW2 shooters.

Watching Patrick over-think a simple problem is less than entertaining.

I get where you're coming from but for those more used to using controllers the comfort of using a controller is often enough of a reason to pass up the increased accuracy and speed of a mouse.

Basically live and let live man!!

@smokyexe: You don't HAVE to use a controller, dude. It's not like Patrick was saying that using a controller was the right or wrong way to go, he just prefers using it.

Love the artstyle.

I felt like I was better at this game just from watching this QL than Patrick was from actually playing it, especially at that snowball puzzle...

Definitely looks like a game I'd play regardless on what system it's on, love the photograph game mechanic, sold & thanks for the QL.

There is no reason to play with a controller. The keyboard can do the basic platforming this game has just fine.

This looks like it could've been really cool but ended up being frustrating instead.
