And this topic will likely get significantly more traffic due to people clicking it thinking the Tales of Graces thread already got some silly renaming.

Looks like an enjoyable game, I just hope they can manage to make co-op online also. Wonder if it will come to anther platform.

It was made with help from Sony's pub fund, so I doubt it.

I actually came in thinking it was a new A Boy And His Blob...

Looks cool though. Hope there's enough content to justify that price point.

Pub Fund I think.

Also, the game is completely wonderful. Buy it please

This is a pretty fun game. I only wish it was 10 but it's very polished.

Maybe there will be free dlc down the line. It might be a tough sale for some, but I think you get your $15 worth.

I am preparing my assault on the leaderboards.

That is, assuming people from Capy don't hog it playing local coop.

Same.
Is a blob central to Tales of Graces? Why would people think this title had anything to do with that game beyond "Tales"? Its like saying "All of those Tales from the Cryptkeeper fans sure are gonna be disappointed when they click on this!!", it just doesn't make any sense.

I saw you got 1:40 so I decided to shave a few more seconds off

kassatsu · Feb 9, 2011

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO someone got 1:30

Nice GFX, will have to check out the demo at least... I've been ignoring PSN lately for some reason (maybe b/c I have so many excess MS points).

VGChampion · Feb 9, 2011

Thought it was a new Boy and his Blob game coming out. Definitely interested in it. I'll have to download the trial next time I hook up my PS3.

Carl · Feb 9, 2011

Will buy because it looks brilliant and i like to support indie developers

mclaren777 · Feb 9, 2011

I met these guys at PAX and really enjoyed playing with them.

I'll buy this game once my backlog thins out a little more.

DaBuddaDa · Feb 15, 2011

So damn cute.

V_Ben · Mar 8, 2011

This totally awesome game is getting a totally awesome free update.

Adds a costume editor

darkwing · Mar 8, 2011

this is really a fun game, tried the demo and bought the game lol

DireStr8s · Mar 8, 2011

well it looks like i didn't pull out my hair collecting 100% of those damn dots for nothing. i spent them all on costumes for my blob to wear while i scream myself hoarse trying to nail the speed runs.

ShogunX · Jul 19, 2011

Wow sad to see the lack of posts in this thread.

Anyway is there a way of getting the blob buddy on top of the tree at the end of Suburbs level 1 on your first play-through or do I get some kind of new ability later on?

Noogy · Jul 19, 2011

Wow, I never knew there was an OT for this. I've been thinking about biting on the current sale, and the Giant Bomb quicklook gave me perhaps the biggest laugh I've ever had (Vinnie and Ryan trying to navigate a room, Vinnie getting stuck, etc).

There is a demo, give it a try. It is a great game by a great group of guys.
