Tom's been playing too much 360 lately... or is jetlagged.

yup im thinking that too
after the initial hi-concept...
that it ultimately has not too much to it just rotate camera left or right.
is not gonna be worth full price.
£3-5 download is Ok. more and it may be too shallow for your money.

Looks alright I suppose, but not nearly enough shooting, maiming and killing for my ADD riddled mind, that's why I love my 360 so :)
Naaa, like the general view so far, it looks original and a lil mind boggling (in a good way), but I couldn't see myself wanting to play it for hours on end.

But it IS a cheap PSN game, isn't it? At least on the PS3...This may not sound like you'd want to play it hours on end, but for short sessions, it looks very interesting.
Might want to get the PSP version then.

Apparently there will be a level editor as well and created levels can be shared online (PS3 version if I'm not mistaken). Could definitely be fun in many but not too long play sessions, like any other puzzle game.

Sounds wonderfull. Might not work on a PS3 (same way XBLA doesnt work on Xbox) for me as consoles are for full blown games, but this sounds perfect for the PSP.

It's a cool concept and fun to play, and I understand the concerns regarding how long this could hld the attention for. The thing is, this game is probably aimed at short gaming bursts, rather than the sessions we would normally put into a more 'generic' game. Ten minutes on the tube to kill, whip it out and play (the game I mean), etc etc, how it will hold up on the PS3 for game plays I'm not sure, but it seems perfect for the PSP for me.

mechamonkey - "I cannot wait for this, god bless original developers, more of this sort of thing!"

I totally agree, if Sony has more gems like this in the bag I will bloody well have to go and buy a PS3 soon. Looks lovely, and mcwildcard - I see what you mean, but I hope this proves more popular than the classic Kula World (which is also on PSN now, isn't it?).

I've got faith that the twisted mind who came up with this in the first place (Escher's Lemming!) will be able to give us sufficiently varied and challenging levels. Sure, it's going to have to be a cheapie PSN game, but I can't wait.

Personally, I'm in favour of the pause/think button. This can be a pure logic puzzle, without the frustration of timing and speed. Particularly as I can imagine the controls might be a bit pernickety.

When's the euro release?
