@Someguy The levels in the New SMB were really short though. Hopefully this is like Yoshi's Island DS in terms of long levels (YIDS had 48 + 6 to unlock, I think, and they were easily 3 times as long as NSMB levels.)

Anyway, it's halfway through the 18th here (Australia), why isn't it out yet? Silly Americo-centric release times...

Man, with every day that I don't release Void Masters, other games seem to actually be catching up... and even (godforbid,) surpassing!

... but it's not ready!

I have to get the voice recordings finished! I have to refine the multiplayer! I have to... so much more polish is needed... I can't give into the temptation and release a subpar game just for the money. I have to finish polishing. Profits shouldn't be my goal. They weren't the goal when I started. I wanted to make a kick*** game that would finally usurp StarFox 64 as the greatest dogfighter / railshooter / arcade game ever made.

Hm, okay, so historically I've been one of the ones saying that this just happens to have some superficial similarities to LocoRoco, but now I can't help but think that as it's come closer to release it's been looking more and like LocoRoco. The squiddy flying enemies look just like the bad guys in LocoRoco Coccoreccho, for example.

Obviously the game play is vastly different and richer, but the visuals are much more than just a similar style at this point.

Looks great, just hope the music is better in the full version.

Man I hope Rolando's soundtrack is in any way reminiscent of the trailer music they have had so far.

I have been waiting for this game for so long, and am so excited to see it coming out.

Slightly disappointed about the amount of levels though, I mean 36, thats, thats rather less than epic, new super mario brothers has 80, and that game seemed a bit short.

@ Dirty:

Totally agree. I instantly thought of Mario watching this trailer. I have really underestimated this game up to this point. After watching this, I can see how a platformer like Mario could totally exist on this platform, without buttons/dpad. Very exciting. THIS is the kind of thing I'd pay $10 for.

I simply cannot wait to get my hands on this game. This is one of the most complete (and polished) iPhone game that could eventually ends up on othe platforms (xba, psn, pc). I'll wait for a few reviews just to be sure the controls are fine.

One of the few games (Hero Of Sparta, Brothers In Arms, Aurora Feint II) that is really worthy of the 9.99$ price tag.

PS: Please stop refering to this little jewel as a LocoRocco clone. It's like saying that all FPS are Quake clones or platformers are Mario-clones !
