No big deal, though. I will gladly viral market for anything if I get free stuff out of it. Just hit up my PM box if you need my services.
sorry I feel like I'm steering a little bit off topic. So this is in the next PSN/XBLA update? I look forward to the XBLA demo! I love me some 2D platforming games.

Cat simulator? Been done. You need to seethis classic, Alley Cat from Synapse for the Atari computers. I remember trying to pay the hell out of it as a kid... and sucking at it.

This, seriously. The "banners" of each section are ENORMOUS, they should be 1/5 the size, if that. And those huge pictures containing informative text should be... text. I don't like this new trend of 90% useless images I have to scroll through to get to the 10% that is actual information
I'm sure you worked hard on this OP but it could use some trimming down.Ledsen said:This, seriously. The "banners" of each section are ENORMOUS, they should be 1/5 size if that.

Yeah, I know I went overboard lol, but it was either this or my 3000 word essay on Indigenous Australians!

So, I take it you just started playing videogames today? I mean, they're no Team Ninja when it comes to common familiarity, but hell, they've been developing games for at least the past ten years.
I've always wanted to see how this turned out. Krome has something special about their titles. I hope it shines through on Blade Kitten. PC Master Race reporting!

I agree.
However, look at the MGS4 OT and cry. It doesn't please me either, but on GAF, OT OPs are made to be the largest possible. The larger and more uninformative your OP is, the greater service you do to the EPICNESS of the game, and participate in the fanwank. Or something.
Actually, this OP is not that bad in that regard compared to some others

I'm split. Not sure whether to get this on STEAM or XBL. XBL would be free, but playing this in high-resolution, AA goodness is tempting.

I honestly thought I would too, but it clicked with me for some reason. Maybe due to the fact I haven't really indulged in a platformer in over a decade. Seemed to work okay, though.

bad gameplay lol
Played through the demo last night.
Yeah, I think I'll be passing on this one. Game is ridiculously floaty, dialogue is suspect (who says "Ding!" or "Go team!" after opening a treasure chest?), and the regenerating health makes the game seem way, way too easy. And I'm not one to complain about levels being large, but damn, the level in the demo is almost TOO big. I was bored halfway through but stuck it out so I could have a completely informed opinion on the demo.
So yeah, I did not enjoy it.

Played through the psn demo
It's definitely not for everyone. Controls are really floaty, at first I thought there was something wrong with my ps3. If you can get past that, the platforming is pretty fun, climbing on all sorts of surfaces, wall jumping, etc. Cutscenes are.. I guess not aimed at me. And that's fine, but it could be a major turnoff for folks. Regenerating health and plentiful checkpoints make the challenge suspect, but this was only the first level so it's hard to judge. Exploring to find treasure is fun, but it was unclear as to whether or not the money I'm getting from these hidden treasures was going to be used for anything -- I'm not a score attack guy, so unless there's an advantage to it I'll probably end up not stopping to get every chest I see if it's not obviously accessible. I don't know if the game is level-based or not, but the demo area I played through was damn long. I'm gonna let the experience sit with me for a little bit before I decide whether or not to go through with a purchase, I think.

That's what popped into my head when playing the demo.HappyBivouac said:
I wasn't really impressed by the demo. The cutscenes are really cringeworthy (not a good kind of cheesy, just the bad kind), the art style is fucking awful, and the gameplay failed to grab me. Also, that annoying effect of big giant holes appearing in stuff when you walk behind it is distracting.
And of course, it's way too floaty.

General art style aside I am looking forward to this game, lots of these cheaper titles I want lately on pc and 360, probably spending more money on them instead of buying retail releases :lol

This looks fucking awful and the art "style" is appalling. I don't mind fetishistic aspects in gaming and characters (Hell I *like* Rachael in Ninja Gaiden) but this is just shocking. Looks poor all round.

Got really bored with the demo. It looks okay and doesn't control too bad, but the gameplay was incredibly redundant and the level design is pretty repugnant.

It's kind of weird
I have my suspicions that this is going to be a bad game, but I'm oddly excited about it because I want to do a Let's Play for it.
Something is seriously wrong with me.

I would recommend tracking down a used copy of Tail Concerto for PS1 instead.
I progressed through 6-7 stages. Each level is much different than the last, so not much repetition in terms of gameplay design thus far. Story is sporadic. A few of the levels are short, while others are much longer in comparison (22-28 minutes).
Not handling review duties though, was in charge of previewing it a few weeks back. Met Steve at GDC and was entertained by his commentary on his decisions. Had good relations with him since, so he put together an exclusive video developer diary of sorts for my publication that discusses about 8-9 topics. If you'd ike to watch, feel free: Blade Kitten creator, Steve Stamatiadis on censorship, furries, and tentacles.
