Only in flash format, at the moment I think the full game is PSN exclusive.
Flash prototype only atm. I think the dev mentioned on reddit that they are playing pc and mac version.
Mother fucker! I'm 100% stuck on World 2 - Door 9. Seriously...impossible. If anyone is there or has done it, it's the one where you're at a slant and need to light up 5 flowers to power the door to exit.
I seriously can't beat it and I've pretty much blown through all of the game until now.

Lemme look at it in a bit. Podcasting

Why did promo codes only start working after release? That seems a half assed way of doing things. You'd think given the lack of good indie games on PSN they'd make an effort to get it right. Kind of a shame to see all the praise for the game by other indie devs while on the review sites the game might as well not exist.

This looks very cool. Nice to see more interesting games coming to PSN recently.

The trailer makes it look like the game would work very well with the Vita's back touch panel.
Took me 8hrs. There are close to 100 levels.
Y U no release on VITA?
This.
From Tyler Glaiel himself:
Cool, going to buy it tonight. Is the full version a separate download? I noticed the game icon said trial so I'm guessing the purchase isn't just a key to unlock the full game.
If you downloaded something that was like 300mb then yea, you just need the unlock key.

Nice I still need to get like 10 of them.
1 dude programming, going to take some time. He was busy working on getting it released during the spring fever promotion
Aaaaaaaaand done. 100% and I don't regret a single second of it. It's a very, very different game than the original Flash version, and it's all the better for it, IMO. I really liked how they implemented the storytelling without uttering a single word. The puzzles were great throughout and it's worth the effort to go for 100%.

This and PJ Sidescroller would be perfect Vita games
Which reminds me, both games seem to be horribly overlooked considering how fantastic they are.

PSN is doing better than XBLA so far this year but of course nobody gives a shit because PSN is the red-headed stepchild of DD gaming.

Wow, the reviews are pouring in. That's, what, four now.

Finished the factory world, and half of 2nd world. Really good stuff, I like the ambiance of 2nd world more than the factory too. Love how all the artwork looks like it's made with ink, like a good, detailed comic book. Puzzles are quality stuff, many of them make you feel good when you figure them out, and solutions seem very fluid and creative. Hate that the very first trophy name spoils what the last world is, but I kind of got the direction the game was heading, before I saw it anyway.
Generally, I really love the game, but I'm curious if the underlying story will become any clearer as I go through it? Completing the factory world really told me nothing. Well, almost nothing. There were scenes that showed some kind of
Am I getting somewhere with this? Will there be more expositions that will make any of this more clear?

mass robot malfunctioning/rebellion took place there, then I escaped against some pillars set on fire, into an elaborate looking helicopter... 2nd world so far has not had any such exposition, except that there was a car crashed into a tree at the beginning, and there seemed to be two unfinished cars in one of the last levels in the factory. Factory that otherwise didn't seem like it was making cars at all, and looked more like a coal mine processing plant really, with all those mine-carts around.
There really isn't an overlapping story. The worlds themselves present themselves as standalone stories that the demon is experiencing for himself, as you'll find out.

A couple more reviews up:

Closure's grip of levels aren't so devious that you won't exhaust them in a few play sessions, but there are more than enough secrets for those willing to repeatedly wade into the shadows. Puzzle aficionados who like their "eureka" moments mixed with a splash of action will devour this shadowy gem.

Closure's faults can't prevent it from, at times, reaching some of the greatest heights in the puzzle-platforming genre. Once you get to the final ten stages, you are in pure puzzle-platforming bliss. Or hell. I suppose, bliss, then hell, then bliss again.

Really hope this game gets a bit more love. Been playing it on and off the past few days and it's really well done.

Sounds like you get a more complete ending when you collect them all. From the Destructiod's review:
I'm on the 3rd world now, and they grow more devious and ever so better looking, but I'm not sure if I like the sound of that :\
It's not out in Europe yet, for some reason.

Closure coming to PC/Mac.
Not a port.
On the myth of game developers being on drugs for creative ideas:
programming jokes lol
So instead of waiting for European PSN, I'll gladly get the PC version + dev commentary (text).

4 months and counting. I'm pretty sure one of the developers has offended someone important at SCEE.

Closure is heading to Steam September 7th for $10.

Was all ready to grab this on PSN but it STILL hasn't hit the EU store, which is a bloody joke considering the game was release March, then again...

Yay, playing it right now. Certainly is the most challenging puzzler for me this year.
Maybe because it's a much clearer resolution I can see it, but the hand-drawn animations (like when you're the dome man opening the door) look exquisite.
When you're underwater, and the music gets drowned out, it's really creepy. And this monster creeped me out when going down.

Double Post.
FUCK Level 14!
No matter if you get it, still hard to be above the light orb as it goes up.
Now at level 20. I love when you figure out a solution in a twitchy, physic-y puzzler that you don't think was meant to happen.

I'm surprised this thread doesn't have more posts. I got it with the current Humble Bundle and after playing about 20 stages I am really liking it.
Excellent game with a fantastic soundtrack, dark atmosphere and superb puzzles. Just finished the regular game in about 8 hours with only a few moths. Didn't use a guide once, woo!
I might go back and get the other moths, though I wish I remembered which rooms they were in. Urgh. Also want to see the 'true' ending very badly.
