Despite having been around and used the terms "soft body" and the alternative "rigid body" for years, I still get a bit of a chuckle from them.

My favorite menu option in anything was Maya's "Set rigid body interpenetration"

I don't think I'd want to play this, but I like everything about it.

Reminds me of The cat that got the milk. That would be a good UPF game. Short and beautiful

My cat kept pawing at the worms on the screen like some kind of laser pointer and it was adorable.

Long stick map made me believe. This weirdly reminds me of Hotline Miami's pacing.

Looks really neat, though it's not my kind of game. Cool idea nonetheless.

This is a really fantastic video game and even gets better from what you see. There are some very clever levels on hard mode. In one of them there's an enemy that homes in on you and leaves a path like Snake or a Tron Light Cycle and you have to use your left stick body to clear out a path for your right stick body to push around the ball. It'll make you feel stupid, but it's super good.

This reminds of Knights in the Nightmare. Very weird abstract game play with bullet hell like shots to dodge. Except KIN has a weird jrpg story about dead Knights.

Neato! I often find shmups to have a rather meditative quality to them. This seems to be a bit of an extension of that lineage.

@merxworx01: I remember being interesting in that when it came out, but never got around to trying it. It looks bananas.

@pants_ghidorah: its like playing ghost trick, ff tactics and a bullet hell game in real time while enemies are shooting at you. All the while you have to move your ghost powering objects in the living world and avoiding traps in the Ghost world. It's hard to makes sense of the game. Even screen shots look confusing.

Wow - I do not understand how a game this hard can be fun ... no thanks...more power to the people who can find banging their head against this fun but definitely not for me. Real life is hard enough I don't need my games to be this hard...
