Quick Look: Splasher

I was seeing this thumbnail on the Halo Wars video on YouTube for some reason...

Ha! They have a folder straight-up named "crap" on their desktop.

Also this game looks pretty cool.

The main guy behind this game worked on the recent Ubisoft Rayman platformers, for the record.

Its a cool game!

Mario Boy Meat?

This looks really good actually. Can't wait to see some proper speed runs of it.

the first six rows may get wet?

So what I'm seeing is an art style reminiscent of No Time to Explain, the mission objectives of Pixeljunk Shooter, and movement maybe reminiscent of Dustforce.

None of that's a negative this seems to be doing enough to be its own offering, and really, none of those are the only inspirations you could claim.

@justin258: Pretty sure that's the Diablo 3 logo in the 'Crap' folder too.

Always need my fill of brad playing hard platformers.

Not what I'm looking for.

Really digging the Brad and Drew-dynamic.

I just bought this and can confirm that it is fucking rad

What if Meat Boy and Splatoon had a child?

Neato! I liked the lengthier levels in Super Meat Boy. They gave you room to really get going. This looks like it's got that going for it in every level.

And many would say that combing things that currently exist in a new way makes a new thing. Nothing wrong with doing that at all. Is still creative.

This seems both super neat and completely not my thing.

Oh, cool. I was thinking that watching the video, the cheering and the thermometer filling up to unlock the bonus guy reminded me a lot of the modern Rayman games.

A game about fluids with a liquid dubstep soundtrack? Am I imagining things or is that a next-level pun?

This game seems really cool.

I will definitely be picking this up when the price drops.

Really surprised they only talked about meatboy and not its closeness to Rayman in terms of level structure, objectives and even a bunch of sound effects. I would have thought Brad would have played those.

Looking forward to trying this when it hits consoles.

I think it was only Patrick and Alex that played those and tried to share the Joy of Rayman, but I don't think the other guys ever bit.

That Diluvion game looks really cool from its trailer.

Looks neato.

Super Meat Boy was the only game like Super Meat Boy that I ever needed.

Golden opportunity missed.

Drew: How are the ink puns Brad?

Brad: They're inkredible.

Oof the modern economics for indie devs these days is rough. $15 US dollars? Yikes dudes, that's a tough sell for something like this.

must be hard for Brad to talk and play this game

@murdoc_: Super Meat Boy is $15.

For some reason this game reminds me (next to meat boy) of Commander Keen.

Looks and sounds good to me., I simply don't have the time (or skill probably) to get far into SMB's difficulty level. I've tried but it's too much for me in short doses. As Brad and Drew said this seems less punishing by a notch or two and I'd probably make good on trying to finish it.

Nintendo would sue for full custody.

@zaldar: Definitely. But I enjoy trying to make out the bones of the thing.

It was easier to do with earlier titles, but you can see the inspirations and follow through the thought processes of a designer.

A quick Quick Look?! What sorcery is this?!

I just beat this game, its fantastic! One of the best platformers I've played in a while, I would 1000% recommend to anyone who feels like playing a good tight fun platformer.
