I dunno Zenanon, it could be all flair. I just beat Tag: The Power of Paint, twas short but fun. A breath of fresh air over the same ol feeling puzzle games.

I just stumbled upon Osmos and have one question: did anyone play Orbital (Game Boy Advance, Japan 2006)?
So similar idea. 3 years before. Search for some Orbital gameplay and find it out yourself.
