Hmm 25,466 (± 4,748) owners on Steam isn't great.

It's been on deep discount there too, right? I wonder how it performed on the consoles and 3DS.
Sweet! We usually have similar tastes in games so I think you will dig it.
I made a youtube video showing off some Switch footage.

This is the one Switch game that treats the B button like the A/X button on Xbox & PS4. So it advances everything. You can't change it and it's hard to get adjusted.

Thanks for sharing the footage. I hope you are enjoying the game otherwise. I'm trying to remember if B was the advance button on Wii U also....
I can't remember that either..I'm just so used to most games on the Switch making use of the A button as advance.

Does the 3DS version have stereoscopic 3D?
I might buy it there if it does, love how that looks with 2D games.

I bought it for ONE DOLLAR about a year and half ago for PC from an indies game site when it was on sale.
It's a cool game and I will probably double dip because I hadn't finished it and would more than likely do so now. $10 and portable.
Per the PR for the PS4/XB1/3DS release:
So yep, it sure does!
Incredible price! And, I still need to finish the game myself. It's especially hard when going for 100%!

I think Ill pick this up this Thursday. Looks cool.
Now, if I can just get someone to make a love letter game to Battle of Olympus. Or hell, just a virtual console release of the original.

What time will the eshop update to make this game available (in usa)? I'll probably buy this as something to play until mario comes out.
I think like 12 PM or by 1 PM EST.
I think it would be right up your alley, Lijik. Well, I know more about your taste in 3D games but given your encyclopedic knowledge of those I imagine you have a vast appreciation for 2D games also.

I got it on Wii U and got stuck and dropped it. Some of the changes sound nice, tho.
Would probably be a good fit on switch too

I always wanted to play this game on Wii U, never got round to it though. Then I figured I might play on Xbox One for the Achievements but never did. I actually own it on Steam but I'm not much of a PC gamer.
I think Switch will be where I finally play it.

Grabbed an hour ago from the NZ shop but yet to play it. Waiting for the boss to go to a meeting so I can get started!

Don't know how I missed this, I 've checked all the new releases on all the consoles almost every week for the last 5 years or more and come to NeoGaf every day, and I've played a dozen similar games in that time on Steam (and even a couple exclusives of the recently defunct XBLA Indie) and NEVER noticed it or had it recommended.
And so far at least I'm enjoying it more than Axiom Verge, Ori, Shovel Knight, Momodora, Hyper Light Drifter, and many more less well known ones. The character designs, story, music and play control/physics aren't as good as those games, but the level design and overall sense of exploration and progression more than makes up for it.
Part of it may just be some influences from Kid Icarus, Mario 2, Zelda 2, Castlevania 2, and Cave Story that I've never seen picked up in another game.

Yeah it's nuts. This is going to be the 6th or 7th game I wishlist.

About a hour or so in and I'm enjoying it. Playing on extreme, though not sure what the differences actually are. This should happily hold me until mario next week.
I'm at what I assume is the first dungeon (with the skeletons) and I really like the hazards. Very zelda-like with the spiky moving balls.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I wouldn't have known about it otherwise.
(I wish there were a thread for all these weekly Switch releases. Most I have no idea about at all.)

ok so I'm real hyped now. I looooove SK, and very nearly bought AV instead.
I'm really just pleased as punch to read this, orborborb. I found it just has that special je ne sais quoi to it that made it really endear itself to me in its gameplay. So I'm hoping you'll continue to be impressed with it. (I still really want to play HLD. I will say I love Ori as well.)
No prob! Here is a monthly thread in the community forum and it's kept up to date very swiftly:

There is also sometimes a week releases thread like the one Jonneh made this week:

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
So Max is this version the fixed version from the PC?
I'm probably in as I skipped it on the Wii U do to the bugs, but I'm probably in if it's the bug free variant.

It should be. I can ask the publisher if you like. I haven't heard of any issues with this version yet.
There is a skill to teleport at some point, but only to some points in the map and sometimes they are far away.

Elliot Quest is really an amazing game. My fav game of 2014 (or was it 2015?) I called it a "Zel-mar-icaroid" in my steam review.
