I immediately fell in love with this game, I lost sleep over it, and when I finally had to part it took a little bit of my heart. This game will always stick with me for the rest of my life.

this is the most beautiful game i ever played

[LiliumCruentum]

It's a Metroid/Castlevania style... underwater.

You gotta love it, like Braid and many others indipendent games, that, in fact, overclass many so called "modern games".

[Amygondor]

It looks like a ripoff from ecco the dolphin, mixed with some maginc from FF

[Andreagalarkin]

This reminds me metroid underwater. It's a nice concept. I would like to see the same concept with battle ships and mechs with the same game play format.

@merkantillian Sounds like you don't appreciate a challenge. There are only "dead ends" if you're going to a place that you shouldn't be going yet, and I for one think the developers made it pretty clear (generally) where to proceed. The forms are for versatility in gameplay, not to be "balanced" and to keeps you on your toes during the boss fights. There's plenty of variety in level design and a plethora of enemies. Not all good games need customization. :P

[merkantillian]

The first levels of Aquaria are great, then it gets mediocre. It becomes more of an open world with constant dead ends. It would have been a great game if more thought had been put into level design and especially the character itself. There is no customisation and the forms you get are very uneven in power - Nature Form does little to nothing while Beast Form is immense. To have an ok experience with the game, it is recommended to be on google the whole time. Wouldn't pay £7 for it.

@LaughingUltros There are enemies and action already 10mins into the game :p This game has action and ambience combined - I like Action games and I also love Ambience games, but this have both :D

[Firrodrigolosofia]

You know, I keep thinking! How can 1 game made by 3 people, mostly by 1 in fact be so amazing and immersive, while there are ton of millionaires titles produced by thousands of people lasting years to release, and when it does nothing but bore. Boring games, same of the same, and most of them are full of glitches and almost always doesn't delivery half of the experience as this game does!

[KjMighty]

the music reminds me of Requiem for a Dream

[davitsk1]

The soundtrack is pretty awesome

[LaughingUltros]

Nice to see the game has action.

I bought the bundle and tried this game for like 10 minutes, I got the impression it was boring and had no action, but this trailer clearly shows there are enemies and such later on.

This looks good, I'll play more later.
