Might be worth a punt for 400 points, but I'm expecting a 200% score increase due to having artistic qualities ;)

like the idea of a dizzy style game in this day and age though

I like more arty crap but this sounds like a Braid wannabe. Still, at least Braid was good.

Well yes and no. Its a Braid wannabe in terms of its visuals, but the games sound very different.

EDIT: And this is the kind of pricing that i like! :)

The artwork is horrendously amateur looking.

A game dealing with political themes and dealing with a welfare state? Oh imagine the fun if it criticized the welfare state in any way!

Gee, a "platform puzzler" with "watercolour-style visuals" that's "a bit like old games, but better" with "unique and forgiving alternatives to player 'health' and 'death'" that "explores issues that communicate to adult gamers"? No, that sure doesn't sound anything like they're trying to copy Braid at all.

Man, I'd love to see XBLA's quality standards boosted a bit more towards Braid, but if this means every studio is going to come out with an artsy, pseudo-philosophical Braid clone, then I'll pass.

Looks interesting, 400 points is a decent price, will probably still play the trial 1st though!

@Domoval

Reminds me of when Evangelion came out in Japan, suddenly everyone wanted to do teen angst deep psychological mech anime.
Mind you some of those weren't half bad, but most of it was crap.

Still, I'd rather have some gems between the crap than no gems at all, just ike FPS, Racers, etc. etc.

When was the last 400 point game? Plus we there needs to be Dizzy on XBLA and PSN, second game I ever played was Fantasy World Dizzy.

I hope all the original Dizzy games work their way onto the Wii VC at some point. Dizzy rocked!!

That main character looks like he's been lifted straight from south park.
