...could be for you if you enjoy platformers with a difference (such as Braid). There is a free demo.

Thanks Lex

Any one else playing/enjoying this yet? There is some combat, but not too challenging. Pretty fairy-tale graphics and gently amusing voice acting - overall, "charming" is probably the appropriate word.

Available as a download or (I think slightly cheaper) on CD,

I really enjoy it, its a good challenge if ure going for collection all secrets in the game, but if just play to get the story its a bit short.

But in all i dident mind my preorder on it after trying demo.

It reminds me of a prettier but less strategic Lost Vikings game. 3 characters of different sorts going through puzzle type areas in a side scrolling platformer scenario.

I really enjoyed the demo but don't know if I I'll put out for the full game. The graphics and gameplay were very fun for me and I like that some of the stuff can be done by each character, only in a different way.

Still, I have other games I want ahead of this one so I will probably wait for a sale on it but it does look good.

Hello all,
Just played demo...First i must say the enviroments are beautiful.We loved the different methods used to get through the levels, the different strenghth of each character are nicely done, you can swith to any character on the fly.

we played as cooperative play and and single player and both were very enjoyable. One thing i disliked was the lack of save anywhere..I do hate "Save points." I also enjoyed the narration that added to the charm of the game..

Do yourself a favor and download the demo which gives more than enough of the game to see if its your kinda game. It looks like a game i can actually complete and enjoy without a MaGtRo walkthrough. But i may be wrong..

I dont think i would buy it @ $39.99 through steam, but i looked today and saw it was $29.99 ...I think i just might buy it, at $ 19.99 that would definitely be a purchase.

For those still interested in this game steam got it 25% off this weekend http://store.steampowered.com/app/35700/

It's 24.99 at gogamer. 48 hour madness sale. I think I will get it. It says it is DVD import.

You are tempting me JB! I have exceeded my gaming budget this month already.

You told me maybe we could get a stimulus check, so don't worry about it. You made me feel better. Ana, don't worry, be happy!

I missed the madness sale but just saw that the Import price is now 20.90 and the US release is on sale for 17.99 preorder. Now I'm definitely ordering!

No will power, naughty. Boy, do I have will power.

I downloaded the demo and it looks great. Thinking about buying it, however, I can't figure out the controls. I know it's keyboard and mouse but for instance, I'm at the beginning and on the grappling hook and I can't get of the darn hood to jump to the platform. I can't find anything about the controls and how to use them (probably in the full game). Can someone please help? I know it can't be that difficult and I feel so dumb, really dumb.
Thanks, Barbara

PS. I wasn't sure if I should have asked this in hints or not. If so, I'm sorry.

THis is hints, discussions and everything all rolled into one for these games Barbara, you are in the right place.
Hopefully someone who is playing will be by shortly.
