Preview: Fluster (Alex Schearer and JZielinski)
Fluster is a nice little platformer involving a vacuum cleaner and lots of suck/blow related puzzles. It's only in the alpha stages right now, but it's playable and worth a go.
The art direction is pretty awesome and the puzzles themselves aren't half bad. Note that there isn't any sound as of yet (or at least there wasn't any for me) which takes away from the experience, but all in all this is definitely shaping up to be something brilliant.
Try it out on Schearer and Zielinski's site Another Early Morning.

Hey thanks a lot for featuring Fluster! Like you say it's still a rough little alpha but we really appreciate the feedback the community has given so far! One point I wanted to clarify, Another Early Morning is actually my site. You can see more of JZ's work over at Coltrain Studios.

This game is really cool! I'm looking forward to seeing more as it's updated. I really like the puzzles, though those green balls are difficult! What a neat idea with the vacuum.

Looks like when it's finished it will be a lot of fun. It seems like a great basis for a platformer.

Fluster looks so fantastic that I want to shit in my pants.
The jumping physics was implemented well. Often, alot of platformers fail at that aspect, and it throws the general feeling of the game a bit off.
The graphics are nicely done and feel very smooth. Looking forward to see this project come into fruition!
