Oooh - this looks very interesting. Indeed a good reason to concentrate first on Snapshot, only later on improving Verge.

Wow, this is nice stuff. I'm a photographer, so the snapshot idea is very appealing. Can't wait to try it out.

I've seen games use styles similar to Yoshi's Island before but never something this copied.

I can't help but think that this was inspired by "I Wish I Were The Moon".

I'm surprised - seems like an excellent art style that anyone sensible might consider copying.

Kyle Pulver sure loves "Block/switch opens door" puzzles. Bonesaw absolutely ruined those puzzles for me.

I wake up every morning by hitting a switch to open my door, I can't help it.

I've had that question since I saw this game nominated on IGF. Does somebody know something else?

Indeed, both said somewhat correctly, I loved the look of the game back on SNES, though I hated that baby screaming, lol. I remember it being so colourful, the graphics knowing 2-D at some of it's finest momment. I would not mind seeing more of the style of "colouring book" per say?
