This looks really cool, almost like a creepy DisneyWorld ride that's been turned into a platformer game.

I hope the movement isn't as sluggish as it looks. Everything else is amazing, though.

Radical! Reminds me of a Saturn game - I'm not dissing the visuals (they're fresh and charming imo). I just mean in terms of theme. Maybe it's because the Saturn played host to games like NiGHTS (which has a similar color palette and fantasy creature design) and Clockwork Knight (the same toy/puppet concept), but it seemed like making a platformer about puppets was sort of Sega's thing back during the Saturn era.

Looks great. Hope it plays well.

This looks like it would be frustrating to play because it doesn't look very precise.

Whatever this ends up being. Im excited. Pretty sure its meant for 3D though, its a bit obvious from the trailer at how so many things fly at the screen.

Looks like it has potential. Trailer felt very harry potterish though. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but that's what I picked up from it.

I would just give him back his scissors. You could get your own pair for cheap at a office supply store.
