Bought and installing. Can't wait to play it.
Alright, game is AWESOME.
Only complaint that i guess will be fixed in a patch or something: It actually runs in my secondary monitor for some reason (guessing cause its 16:9 instead of 16:10, the latter wich the game doesnt really supports, but stretches). I have to manually change to windowed, drag the screen to the primary monitor and then change it to fullscreen.

Alright seriously, sogood. Not finding any trouble with the controls since i played a lot of Soldat and its basically like that. Playing on Hard as well and the challenge is really well balanced. Also not finding any stuttering issues and all. Rest asure the game looks gorgeous and plays absolutely fine.
Id like to know if someone with a dual monitor setup encountered the same issue i stated in my post above though.

I'm trying to play the game, but every time I launch it I get "Capsized has stopped working" message. Anyone knows how to deal with this

I watched a few seconds of the trailer on the Steam store page and just bought the game.

Doesnt bother me that much since they stretch just fine and i cant even notice it.
I did found something though and that the game has a somewhat slight blur in the enemies and background while scrolling through the stages. It kinda fucks up with my eyes a bit, weird.

Definetly. Cant imagine playing it with a controller. At least on Hard. Second level already gets pretty busy.

Did you install the XNA thing? On my pc I actually had to repair the XNA 3.1 thing even though I didnt have it installed yet.

Started on my main screen, 570gtx here. Don't all steam games start always on your main screen? When I wanted to have them on another screen actually needed to switch my mainscreen to my second tft.
Quick impression. I'm three campaigns in.
I love the atmosphere. It reminds me of the first time I played Abe's Oddysee. I'm not implying that the games are alike in anyway, just that I had the same feelings about the atmosphere. It feels like there is so much more going on in the world than meets the eye. The background is surprisingly interactive (you can shoot a lot of it), so it's not "busy" for no reason. I wish the music was more energetic, but still well done. It does add to the feeling that you are in a foreign world.
The controls are strange. I'm still messing around trying to find a configuration that works well. My main complaint with the controls is that the Jetpack isn't used enough to warrant the Space button. Instead the Space button has been mapped to the Gravity hook, I use that most the time. I tried using my 360 gamepad for a level and didn't like it one bit. Aiming with the gamepad was a chore and took away the fun for me. It feels more natural to use the mouse to aim.
The game feels more like a cross between a SHMUP and a platformer, rather than a FPS and a platformer like the Steam page suggest. The "puzzles" I've encountered so far are not challenging. Most are solved with the Gravity Hook. Since I'm only three levels I am hoping for a bit more of a challenge later on. So that's my quick impression so far.

Yes, all games run on my main screen except this one.
Again, i guess its because im using a 16:10 26inch HDTV at 1360x768 as my main monitor, and the game runs automatically at 1440x900, wich is the native resolution of my secondary 19 inch monitor.
No biggie, will probably be fixed with a patch.

Blindly bought and played the first 4 levels. It's okay but nothing special. The jumping physics are a bit too floaty, but still effective. There's potential for some awesome exploration-based gameplay with the jetpack and grapple hook thing giving you tons of of freedom in how you move around the levels, but so far the gameplay focuses way more on shooting than platforming or puzzle solving. The weapon variety is nice but all the enemies I've encountered so far (on normal difficulty) can be disposed of pretty easily with the default weapon. Is it worth $9 or $10 dollars? Probably, but don't set your expectations too high.

I can't try out the demo. What's up with up with that? I hit "DOWNLOAD DEMO" and the usual window pops up, but it just says: "You are about to install-" When I click next, I get, "Cannot be installed because is is a demo, and you own the full version of the product. Please install the full version of the game." Uh...no, I don't.

I was doing okay with the keyboard and mouse but it feels more "natural" with a good controller. I guess because I'm so use to playing sidescrollers with a controller. It comes down to whatever feels good for you, I guess.

Demo is fixed.
So satisfying when I realized by the 3rd level that
with the hook you can use rocks as shields from enemy fire and as a powerful projectile.
I decided to start off on Hard when I saw someone in the thread mention they were already nearing the end, great experience so far. Whatever "Arcade" mode is might provide some extra replayability though.SalsaShark said:

SalsaShark, you should update your PC indie game thread with this.

Thank you, sir. I easily installed and uninstalled the game like 4 times.desu said:

The soundtrack is so awesome!
I really wish the default weapon had auto-fire instead of requiring me to click really fast. I don't like things that make you click really fast.
The soundtrack is cool even though I am somewhat lukewarm about the gameplay. I'm gonna buy it anyway to support the gameplay, developer, and cheap price.

So after tweaking the controls I can give this game an honest thumbs up. The controls were bugging the hell out of me. I have Gravity Hook mapped to Mouse4 and Jetpack to Mouse5. I also change Up to the Space Bar. This configuration increased my enjoyment ten fold.
It's also great to see a new release not plagued with bugs. Good job to the Devs!

Is it really? I had no idea - it's not comparable in terms of tracks but the quality is there. I had it minimised while editing my review and it's music worthy of a listen regardless of it's game music or not. Liquid DnB tracks, Sigur Ros esque tunes as well; I really hope they release it as a separate download.

Quick question, does this have built in controller support? I'm using a laptop, so would prefer to play with my 360 pad.

According to the dev page the OST is made by http://www.solarfields.com I suppose you can buy their OST somewhere. Not sure if its all of the music, or if its remixes or whatever.
