Shadows of the Empire! No?

Star Trek?

Star Trek!

Star Trek...

Execution is crutial to every game, and I agree about your take on the mechanics. I just don't see it here. I won't know if it works or not until I play. This looks like a puzzle platformer with a skill mechanic added to it; the slicing. And because you don't know where the growth of the mushroom starts, you need to adapt to it on the fly. Is it annoying? It might. Or it might be fun. You don't know how the enemies react in a FPS and that's part of the fun.
If the mouse is to slow or unresponsive for the game's needs, then that would be a terrible slicing mechanic in my book. But that remains to be seen.
So until further analysis, I like the concept and I like the graphics enough.

(Indidentally, Sublevel Zero is an indie I'm really not interested in, and will only get in a deep sale for collection purposes. Just because I'm not into that kind of gameplay. So, different likings and all that jazz)

Looks OK enough but if it's the only release today it means no classics miraculously brought back from the void all week, and that's what I'm REALLY here for...

What's the name of that game about nanomachines that amok used to pimp?

Uh, maybe Grey Goo?
(crappiest name ever for a non-silly RTS)

I love indie games, and I love puzzle platformers, but when even *I* am left thinking, "FFS, yet another puzzle-platformer!?" that's saying something.

...and from the video, it looks like the gameplay is extremely similar to Puddle or Vessel.

I think there won't be new release today, thursday's slot was eaten by Age of Decadence on wednesday.

(Please please please prove me wrong with some Bethesda openworld!)

I hope we get "Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines" in the next couiple of weeks. :D

It's kind of a funny perception. I'll like to actually see proper statistics, because things are not always tagged correctly and such, but on a kick search through GOG (using magog) there are...

87 platformer
94 puzzle
16 puzzle + platformer
290 strategy
106 strategy + real-time
75 strategy + turn-based
53 shooter + fpp
217 role-playing
9 role-playing + real-time
50 role-playing + turn-based
11 role-playing + fpp
2 role-playing + tpp
134 point-and-click
17 fpp + puzzle (myst, etc)

So, genre tags are not really always assigned (role-playing is a good sample of that)...

I wish it would be a rts or some transport simulation. Haven't seen those in months. Eitherway any release at all is good.

mmm, I think the release of Cities In Motion wasn't a long time ago (if you didn't play the heck out of it long before it came on GOG of course). Did you also spent dozens of hours on Train Fever? Anyway, transport simulations is so niche that there is barely one per year (if not less, duh....)

Personally think this was a odd choice of release by GOG. If that wasn't niche then nothing is....
This makes it way to difficult for those of us who complain about too many adventures....:P

I hasten to add that I'm not necessarily thinking of GOG, but the market as a whole; arguably the puzzle platformer genre is a flooded market in the indie scene.

I'm not necessarily against "YAF puzzle platformer" coming to GOG; I suppose that if i were to narrow down my thoughts, it would be that at first glance, it's a puzzle platformer that looks like it feels or at least plays like And Yet It Moves, Puddle, Vessel, or Incredipede. I am open to being wowed by this supposedly revolutionary new game mechanic (gimmick?) that it employs, but for now, at a distance, this game doesn't come across as being very innovative or distinctive in my mind.

I am eager to see a TB "WTF is..." or a Jim Sterling "Squirty Play" video of this game, though.

Ok. 16:00 GMT +2 and NOTHING NEW.... So no sale or 6packs (like the Lucas Arts or Warner Bros releases back when).... So i guess it's a slow day for GOG...
