New thread!

I was actually listening to the Star Industry's version of this, but I do like the original as well. Plus the video is cool.

Welp I finished it this morning. Overall I have to say I really enjoyed it.

The story was good throughout, but after the first few small twists, it did became a little contrived and predictable. Still an enjoyable tale, with some dark and adult aspects I didn't really expect.

Graphically as I said before, the art style is amazing, and some of the technical side was also quite impressive. There is a great variety of different styles, even within the separate chapters of the game.

The gameplay was okay throughout, with a good variety of puzzles and mini games that break up the main story content; although some of these did become quite tedious. The combat starts off very simple and develops nicely as you get more weapons and enemy variants, that add more depth and tactics to the combat. The platforming was good, with some complex and difficult jumping puzzles. They would from time to time really push things too far, to the point they felt a bit unfair. Some of the strange 2d mini games didn't really seem to fit in to the main story, and probably would have fitted better as just optional side quests, instead of been forced to do them to progress.

Overall I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys puzzle platformer games, and are looking for one with a bit of a darker story.

As before you can find my screenshots here.

I'm 6.3 hours into the game according to Steam, on Chapter 3 and I think the game is coming up to it's conclusion. I'm really enjoyed it, great art style, and very interesting dark and slightly twisted story. Mechanically it's not really that unique, some of the animations are a bit stiff, and quite a few textures are a bit meh but they're really the only negative comments I have about it. For a game a few years old, it still looks stunning most of the time, this really comes from the awesome art style, but little things like the hair and clothing physics also add to it.

I'm going to post more when I've finished it, but until then here's the screenshots I've gotten.

Edit: I just found out there's 6 chapters, so I'm actually about half way through.

I voted for Alice! Lots of people have demanded I play that game and yet it still sits on zero hours. Now could be the time!

@commander: Oh wow awesome, I actually had quite a few of these for both my Amiga and C64 back in the day :D

No Caption Provided

I had one of the ones above with 4 buttons, and quite a few of the classic yellow zip stiks with the 2 square buttons. Also I remember getting a couple of the square ones on the far right in the picture below with my first C64.

Also one of these ones below as well, but it would always be the backup stick, and a number of friends I knew had these QuickShot ones.

Now that last type above, I actually got one of these for my PC to play things like the X-Wing games, but I would also use it with my Amiga from time to time. It was a great flight stick.

So I bought Miracle Of Sound's new album 'Level 5' the other day. I have to say I really like this track.

Nice, cool idea to raise the monitor up as well so you can stand and play easily.

I've been wanting to get an adapter so I can use a classic zip stik with Amiga ports, that would certainly complete the nostalgia for me. Well without going all out and hunting down a working Amiga and the games.
