Being nice to look at is hardly essential for a puzzle game, but that's not to say we're opposed to easy-on-the-eye puzzlers such as World of Goo. Deep Silver's Gravity is another entry in the genre that is also a looker, with each of the title's 100 puzzles featuring a unique, hand-painted background (IGN has bigger screens if you want to admire them some more).
As for how it plays, this debut trailer suggests that the Deep Silver team have been spending some time with Crayon Physics, or maybe even DS homebrew hit Pocket Physics. You'll hear no complaints from us if the Wii gets its own Crayon Physics!

Looks solid. Glad someone out there understands that even though it's a puzzle game, graphics are still part of the immersion and enjoyment factors. I'll be showing my girl this trailer when she comes home from work, she should love it, too. Thanks again WiiFanboy for putting a game I might not otherwise have heard about on my future release radar.

Pretty cool, though the levels that they showed all look a bit basic....but I'm sure they'll get harder as you progress through the game....at least I hope so.

This reminds me of an old PC game from Dynamix called The Incredible Machine (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Incredible_Machine) that I played back in middle school, which had essentially the same concept, even with the sandbox. Considering how much time i spent on that, I will definitely be keeping an eye on this.
