Okay, so they're both made by indie developer Frozenbyte, but still -- there's a wide chasm between the worlds of Smash TV and ... well, we can't think of a pre-existing game to compare Trine to. Super Ultima-rio Bros?

Incredible looking game and love the concept but not releasing it on the 360 is a shame. The PS3 is a sinking ship (you won't see a PS4).

Personally I found the mouse/keyboard controls to work better... there's too much aiming/drawing to use a stick, and it's not like 2D motion really requires analog control.
Regardless, the demo was great and I absolutely cannot wait for this game. Big Lost Vikings fan and this brought me back - though it's probably considerably better.

Well, I think it could really go either way. I think sidescrolling platforming is better suited for a controller, but there's a bit of stuff in there that could be better with a mouse. The only thing I found annoying with the DS3 was drawing the boxes. I thought the arrow shooting worked well with the analog stick. All in all, the game felt great with the DS3, and I'm sure a mouse and kb would be good too.
Now if I could only get my HDMI audio working on my laptop, I could enjoy the demo on my HDTV with my Dual Shock 3 as if it were a PS3 demo ^_^

I preferred the keyboard and mouse as well. Platforming is no problem with the keyboard. You could think of the WASD keys as essentially the same thing as a d-pad.

Love this game, but I'm having trouble finding out whether it's online co-op or just local... anyone know for sure?
Online co-op for this would push it to insane levels of awesome.

Offline co-op, they might patch it up with online co-op if the sales are decent.

you can't think of a game to compare trine to?
Not only did the devs already say that they basically wanted to make a modern lost vikings...
but you run a videogame site and you haven't even HEARD of lost vikings?
I know it's not a huge deal, but common, you're a videogame site. You'd think you'd know or at least do a little research on the game.
