It looks like a very nice game.  But to be honest, I for myself find the news not really too helpful.  There's neither a link to the Product page or older GOL articles about it, nor a link or mentioning that the game is also available outside of steam, e.g., via the Humble Store.  This is GOL, not GOS, is it?

Valid comments, was a bit tired when I wrote it heh, updated.

Looks pretty nice!

I am sure this game is awesome!

Anyone played it yet? The price is a bit steep for me (being the cheap bastard I am!) unless I know it's a great buy.

Quoting: Quote from HadBabitsAnyone played it yet? The price is a bit steep for me (being the cheap bastard I am!) unless I know it's a great buy.
I have played an hour of it and so far it has been awesome. I usually dislike platformers, but I have enjoyed Trine 2 and this quite a lot and out of the two I'd say this is better. I'll probably release a video of it next week and then you can see it yourself. :)

That's high-praise Samsai. Makes me tempted to buy it, if it were not for the fact I have huge backlog of games I really need to get though first. :|
Pit Oct 14, 2013
Hamish - just get it. I'm having quite a backlog, too, but nevertheless bought it (via Humblestore).  I don't regret it, not even having payed more than I'd have to pay on steam.  It's just plain beautiful and worth every cent/penny.  
Yes, reminded me of Trine, the look is very similar, but the gameplay is faster/smoother (though this *might* just be my computer which isn't the fastest)
Hamish Oct 14, 2013
Well, maybe after I am done getting cattle shipped, and after I buy Salvation Prophecy, which has been sitting in my Desura cart for far longer. Although I am still skeptical that it would actually play better than Trine for me.
