The entire game was created by the single developer using a single stick of clay - Then coloring the clay in photoshop. Even the music in the game is unique and quite fun. It's a challenging and fun game. It's a damn shame Anthony Flack (original developer) will never see any of the money made from his game, however.

I'll need a demo before I purchase this one unless it gets 5 stars from everyone. Looks fun, but I'm skeptical of the tilt control scheme.
