What a fantastic trailer.

Embargo is over: Game is FANTASTIC, a crazy amount of polish all over the place, controls feel spectacular (and I HATE inertia in platformers), the difficulty curve is exquisitely designed, nice and slow for beginners but getting 100% gold provides a challenge for the hardcore from the outset. Here's my video
Will gather the reviews posted and toss 'em up in the OT

Question: is there a platinum trophy in this game?

Thanks, added. Reviews are in now too. I was wondering when they'd put one up, I loved their prior trailers but they're all so short.
Yes

Thanks. was confused because at the top above intro it says "Solo > Episodes". And the tab over is N++
Yeah and with a good heap of local co op trophies.

Not really. There's two, both requiring you beat a single column's worth of levels. The race ones can be completed solo, though the missile one requires two controllers (or a Vita and a controller)
There are only two, and really one requiring true coop.

Devs, you might want to look at how the highscore lists look when positions reach 1000+. You get overlapping text, doesn't look great. Also, on the "Friends Highscores" list your own score is always displayed last instead of the proper position. You can see both issues here:

Rectilinear Rooms? Yes, just did it. I'm pretty sure it's possible in every level.

you have to use the slopes

Yes. Reading the Help pages is helpful, they explain all these basic rules and concepts.

If you're not sure how to get gold, you can watch replays of people running through episodes or individual levels. Just find someone who's got it all!

Oh man, Solo Level E-00-02 is killing me. "kinetic joy"
There's this one piece of gold past the exit in a tiny passageway and I cannot get it without activating the exit first!

Hmm, how do you get all the gold on C-00-00? You get trapped when you try!
EDIT: Ok, watched a replay. Not that that makes much sense (?), but ok.
EDIT 2: Ok, now I get it.

And there's SO MUCH of it! I'm still finding tracks I haven't heard, I've got like 6 hours of gametime
I don't know the exact room, but sometimes not activating the exit will make getting all gold easier. Or you just have to jump slightly over the exit, a few levels make you do that.

This is the level:
The gold is by the exit behind a door, and the only way to open the door is to open the exit because there's a switch behind the exit switch.
But the mine and the exit are so close together that I've found it impossible so far to get it.
What help page. Don't see a digital manual with this game.
I've found this helps in how they did it, not necessarily in how YOU can do it. I watched a guys replay and I was like "No idea how you did that."

You can turn on button presses in the options, which I think shows you when the person jumped and stuff.
There's a help page on the main menu.

Uploaded some gameplay from last night and my video got muted cause of copyright violation.
This game is awesome. My first experience with this franchise so I'm terrible at it but I can see how fun it can be once you get better at it
Btw how do you unlock different colors?

I think it's completing the 4th row of a column in Solo (that isn't Intro) but I'm not certain. I've unlocked like 5 colors but only one row 5 level so I know it's not that.

This game is crack. So hard though
Fall, don't jump, off the left edge on to the bottom left slope

Yeah, for some reason auto-cycling color themes doesn't work with the intro episodes. It will start working once you get into the N++ episodes.
I just unlocked a color for completing the 5th in the first column (E-00), pretty sure I got something for the next one over as well.
SerTapTap
Member
Maybe it's simply every 5 episodes instead of a complete column? I couldn't really figure it out

Co-op mode is so incredibly fun, and I am a bit overwhelmed by how many levels there are. And that's not including player-made options.
Played couch co-op with my buddy last night for several hours. I do love how a lot of the co-op levels are asymmetrical and therefore require genuine co-op and not just one player carrying the other.
I also like how any player can press Triangle to kill themselves and then press it again to kill the others.
So troll.
"Screw you I died too early. Let's start over."
"But I'm just about to--"
BAM!

You need to learn to master using your momentum so that you don't die when you land. Also use the ramps for higher jumps
Thanks. I will try that
So its the chapters in the fifth row? Or just completing columns?
Guess I'll just try to complete as many solo chapters as I can and see what happens. Was gonna do that anyways
Thanks dudes, just did it now. I was getting success for the left/right sides by running up the edge on the left/right and jumping really quickly, but couldnt figure out how to jump to the top middle ones. Thaks again!

You can turn that feature off...though if you're playing 2 player most of the levels are impossible if one player dies too early.

Yep, this game will do that. I'm experiencing Hotline Miami 2-levels of frustration!
Did all the intro levels last night, then spent about 20 minutes trying out various custom levels.
The game is great. I wasn't expecting it not to be, as I loved N+ to bits. The DS4 is a wonderful controller for this, but I did find it way more comfortable to swap the jump to Square instead of X. Shame the game itself doesn't have button config option, rather than having to use the PS4 accessibility options. I was also finding I was having more success when using the d-pad instead of the analog stick.
Only negative is that I wish you could retry the last level again from the episode menu. Too many times I completed a level without getting all the gold, so wanted to retry and get them all, but pressed X to continue rather than Triangle to retry.
