I played for 20 minutes and all I can tell is that videos don't do justice to the slick visuals.
The score is also phenomenal, I'm so glad Peter McConnell did it.

There's some layering issues (necks being seen through the face in cutscenes, Vella going through furniture), but I'm happy to report that it seems really stable and polished so far. Hopefully mostly little things like that they'll be working to squash in the next weeks.
The scene transitions for Shay's first puzzle line seem pretty abrupt, I can see how that would be confusing/weird for players who didn't know about the backstory.
But other than that, the game itself is really nice so far, beautiful production values. Art, environment, voice acting, music(!), writing, all top notch.

Wow. Gorgeous.
What do you mean by this?
"excessively or affectedly quaint, pretty, or sentimental."

Played it for a bit and I have a very good first impression! Some of the art is just stunnung and the theme is just amazing.
Yeah, a bit much sugar coating so far. And man, Shay's friends are annoying, but I guess that's intentional. I would've gone mental long ago in Shay's place.

iOS version isn't out yet. Probably coming when/after the full game is released.
This art is soooo amazing. Lovely.
I found some minor problems, I think...
Spoiler of the very beginning of Vella
And about Vella story:

I didn't get a proper explanation of what that day was, I think I missed something, and I got a logic problem where I got a cupcake without picking one.
And about Vella story:
I find hilarious how being eaten is such an honor that people can't believe you escaped
Well the steam version you are getting now was part of the backer beta reward, so I would assume on the 28th when it is officially released.

Spoilers.
The game looks really gorgeous.
Actual maybe light spoilers about a character, not regarding any plot point or puzzle though.
And it's so nice to be able to play as a mixed race (I humbly assume, based upon the physical characteristics of the mother and father; I have no idea if these characters are supposed to human beings, they do look and sound and act like us!) lady in a video game in 2014 for a goddamn change. First thing my partner pointed out when she saw me load up the game.

Just looked at the credits, I guess I'm not in them because I was a slacker backer 
But for people who are in the credits, you can scroll them up and down using the arrow keys, AND if you start typing your name it'll underline it in red.

The RPS preview mentioned the controls and the way they're described sounds exactly like any old SCUMM game (cursor changes, inventory button).
They had a problem with it, I think it'd feel just like one of the old games and I'd be completely fine with it. Can anyone clarify? Can't play for another half day or so.

Aww man, I'm not there either! How much did you have to pledge to get your name in the credits?
I just checked the Kickstarter page and it looks like $100 or more.
Yup, plays just like a Scumm game. Even has a cross-shaped cursor. The inventory's accessed with a button in the corner of the screen.

I was a kickstarter backer and I'm not in there either.
edit - looks like that was for $100+ backers.

That's why I'm not there, I thought it was the tier below that. D'oh!
This is access to the beta, which is part of the backer rewards. I presume you will get access to the iOS version when the full game is completed and released.

Thanks. Sounds like it plays exactly how I expected it would - not sure their deal.
Appreciate the clarification.

It's not a big deal, but the interactable cursor design (weird circle thingie instead of classic blinking cursor) and having the inventory a cursor movement and a click away are a bit weird, I agree with RPS there.
Same. It's freaking gorgeous and the humor is great so far.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
This is truly something so far. And this engine is incredible, and I hope more games get made with it, it's just so seamless and immersive. The only nitpick I have is that I wished the player sprite moved at the same framerate as the rest of the world seemingly does, but that's nothing much to complain about.
I'm about 1 hour 15 minutes in, and I'm totally pleased.
This is what I imagined adventures to become many years ago, in terms of the animation style using hand-drawn art. I'm not a 3D hater and think 3D has worked well in many adventures, but this game is definitely old-school in its presentation and design.
Feels good, man.
