Downloading it now for XBLA.
It did not show yet under the new arcade games, but when browsing through 'All games' in the marketplace 'Gyromancer' was there.

What? Not only the game is 1200 pts (actually I may be fine with that) but there is an additional "map pack" released day 1 for more 240 pts!

So the "full" game experience will be almost US$ 20. I feel a little bit "lumines" right now. (I really liked lumines but the fractured game turned me off at that time).

And considering that the PC version will have additional maps, it is more than likely that those "extra" maps are already in the PC version.
Well, my NTSC-U machine just got 3RLs, now a 2-3 weeks waiting for the replacement, so I will not be buying this for a while anyway.

Hell, that's nothing compared to the Squeenix spondoolicks-squeeze that is FFCC: MLAADL. Us Wii owners know all about the DLC fleecage, mother-fuckaaaaaah[/hankmoody]
Personal Impressions:
Love the music, personally. Rather like the art, too. And the text is nice and large, no squinting here!
I like having turns a bit more in PQ than the lack of turns here. But I can easily see how the game could grow on me. The idea that you can counter opponents attacks with matches, really is a nice tactic.
Not commenting on the DLC until I actually really get into the game. If the game grabs me enough for the DLC, I'll be happy it's there. If not, well, I still get a full game out of it, right?
I'd love to hear impressions on how much the DLC will add, for anyone who takes the plunge. If it's like a whole new sidequest, that's one thing, but if it's just 3 maps without story, then... yeah.
So overall, pretty good demo impressions. It doesn't go above and beyond, but it's a solid quality. That second map in the demo really does make me want to explore all the unique nuances and corners of the maps. The spells look good, the game loads and runs fast, the tutorial was not convoluted, and got one into the gameplay fast... solid all around.

Wait, wait. Music is composed by Tsuyoshi Sekito? Oh my, I might buy the game just for that.

I enjoyed the demo once I got a hang of it. I might get the entire game after a few more playthroughs of the demo.

demo downloaded, appalled that there's DLC for this already. I'm close to beating Brutal Legend, should be done in just a little bit. Will try this demo out after then
I am a PQ whore, addicted to it like crack. I have high expectations for Gyromancer

I enjoy the battle system in Gyromancer more. The fact that there are no turns is pretty neat. Basically, when you make shitty moves, you get attacked. Puzzle Quest would reward you for matches in general, but Gyromancer forces you to be far more strategic.
I'm appalled there's DLC already as well, but hey, the wonderful thing is that we can just not buy it.

Magick Mirrors will let you counter rotate for one turn.
Believe me, I know exactly what your gripe is. It's obviously part of the game's challenge, but it kills me when I see a match, but it's the wrong direction.
I just played the demo. It was pretty fun. I'd never played Bejeweled Twist before but it was basically the same as any other rotating match colors puzzle game. The art was really good and the music wasn't bad either. No counter-rotation was kind of annoying, but that's just part of the challenge. All in all, I think I might pick this one up sometime.

Kabobs are cube shaped and are usually skewered. I don't know what you are on, but that picture is totally a gyro.
Played the demo and now I'm officially interested. I liked the art style and music. The dialog was crap, but I can deal with it as it's not the main focus of the game. I liked the gameplay as it wasn't 100% the same as Bejeweled.
I'll definitely consider buying this. edit: and if it comes to the DS, it's a must buy.
