Wow, this looks really awesome, it's just what I've been looking for, a decent platformer for xbl ^)^ Although I do have one question to ask, how many bosses are there in the game? I know this may sound silly but I just love it when there's bosses in a platformer, it just adds that extra touch of awesome to the whole game. I did see one in this preview, but are there more? Also, is there an actual storyline to the game? Anyway, I can't wait to see more and I'll most likely purchase the game ^_^

@rexfurry Thanks a lot! We aim to please. There is indeed a story to this game, and I'm afraid we'd be entering spoiler territory if I was to say much more beyond the fact that there's 4 boss fights throughout the game. We love it when there are bosses in a platformer too, hence why we have Ego the Umbrella (he's got a big head, you see) and maybe a few other surprises. You'll appreciate them all the more if you play the game! :D

Unfortunately, we weren't able to complete the game in time to release to DBP11, but we are continuing on with development in time for PAX :) See our website for more details.

That's one nice looking indie game. Great music!

@TFMash55 Okey okey im sorry xD

[TFMash55]

@TFMash55 Also, I'm not blaming you for finding them similar. Some people have been reminded of Mario too, for example. Perhaps you don't play many platformers and so aren't familiar with them. So they all look the same to you. E.g. I can't tell the difference between a lot of RTS. Besides, nowadays, games like Homefront and Medal of Honour rip-off CoD4. This game isn't nearly as bad as that. In fact it's a response to these dull, grey shooters, to inject some colour into games for a change.

@OMGKefKong "Kirby epic yarn ripoff". Hm. We've been working on this since before that game was announced at E3. I do see the parallel between the two main characters, but I'm not sure what the other parallels are. The core gameplay is different. This game's been accused of being a *insert-platformer-here* rip-off, (always compared to completely different platformers, mario/sonic/etc) which we take as a compliment. It's supposed to be a homage to platformers of the past and evoke nostalgia.

I love the music; made me uber nostalgia for some reason. And the gameplay looks really smooth. Nicely done.
