Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet should be called OMG WANT

by David Hinkle on Jul 17th 2009 6:20PM

Guys, there's a sweet trailer for Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet making the rounds and if you haven't seen it, consider this post an invaluable service. You have to watch it, and we've made sure to tuck it past the break for that purpose. What? No more reading. Go watch it. Now!

...

Okay, now that you've witnessed its glory, it's only natural to feel a need to fork over some cash. As it turns out, that's exactly what Shadow Planet Productions needs right now, but before you go grabbing that hammer and giving your piggy bank the evil eye, Shadow Planet Productions probably needs more than the $15 you have in there. Good thing Joystiq's biggest demographic is CEOs for investment companies!

We've put in some questions to the minds behind this game, and will be sure to post them up as soon as we hear back. While you wait, may we suggest you watch the trailer again?

[Thanks, Tiago!]

I am pretty sure that Gagné was an animator in the movie "The Iron Giant". He's a pretty cool guy really.

The Iron Giant was one of the best under appreciated American traditionally animated movies.

Im ok with 3-d graphics and a 2d play environment (like New Super Mario). Those games can look really nice, as well as artfully done, detailed 2-d sprites.

My main point is that about 15 years ago we got so excited about being able to do 3-d, boring and familiar 2d got forgotten.

Its nice to revisit that genre.

This should have been a reply to myself, above.

Its got a very strong "Samurai Jack" feel to it. That's a good thing.

I've been watching the development of this game for over two years. Someone better give them money so they can finish it.

Feh. Some really good animation. No clue to how well it plays.

"Style over substance" really works with most of you sheep, doesn't it?

I'm pretty sure that the video just gameplayed all over us.

How about you consider being less of a jerk, Mister Man?

OMG I want for Xbox Live Arcade!

This is Fort Apocalypse. 27 years later...

Solar Jetman II ?

Yeah, definitely gotta say I noticed some pixeljunk shooter similarities there, but not so far as to call either a rip-off. If it wasn't so dark and mechanical and was put to a patapon song, it would totally fit the patapon-meets-pixeljunk role.
