As a final test, watch the above trailer for Fez. If it doesn't appear on your radar then, you'll know it's time to let your radar technician go ... just like we're about to fire our guy that's supposed to tell us when our metaphors have become too protracted.

It's like Echnochrome + Paper Mario = this game.

Definitely an infrequently used game-play mechanic, but not much info on objectives or actual control schemes.

"Release: 2009
Platform: TBA
In development: Yes"
Very vague. Wonder how many games they *don't* have in development?

I'm finally playing Crush right now, and it is quite fun. The story is unnecessary though.

Looks great. As I noticed from IGDA meetings, he seems to have a following...of indie, sneering hanger-ons from the Plateau (Montreal's area of hipsters, "artistes", arrogant, indie humans). Nice guy though, and can't for him to finally release the game.

Crush was good, it got a bit trial and error for me in later levels. The trailer shows bits (esp in the darkness jumping with disappearing platforms) that look like they'll be really hard when you don't know exactly what to do.
Rumour is that it's XBLA.

I've been looking forward to Fez for a long while. Are you sure this is a new trailer? It looks like the one released in late March. I appreciate the opportunity to listen to that lovely tune again though.

Radar picked it up instantly, I'll be looking forward to this for sure.

I have some vague memories of that game, but it hardly seems to be a rip-off. If I remember correctly, in it you just walked/jumped around a tower. You didn't have direct control of turning it different directions (as this does), nor were there any buildings other than circular towers.
I think there have been several games that used a mechanic like this, I don't see a lot of people claiming it's totally brand new. But it does look like a very interesting take on a rarely used gameplay mechanic.
Why not try to look on the bright side instead of being a killjoy?

holy shit I forgot about that. you're right too.
So it's Crush and Tower Toppler yet people are heralding its originality. is it THAT easy to do now? Just pick 2 obscure games and stick them together?

Sorry, little guy, but I am going to be accidentally hurtling you into the infinite abyss soooo many times. God, I hope he doesn't make a tiny little "Noooo!" sound as he falls, that is going to break my heart.

Anyone tried And Yet It Moves?

It looks to be in the same vein as all these perspective altering games... but i've heard nothing bout it.

theres a demo on Steam but its the dullest thing on that service. All you do is move and rotate the level and push some rocks around. It's not fluid and not enjoyable. of course there will be a bunch of hippie liberal douches who love it but it lacks any kind of depth that most gamers are now used to.
