A little suprised to not see Nicalis on there, but that's still a completely awesome list of companies. Loving the game :D

Nicalis was and is still invited, but they sounded very busy, so it is not sure if they can catch up... we still hope. The one last sock is hanging empty out there (outside of the visible stage). :-)

@SoulSilver IV: nice! ;-)
There is hot stuff today behind the door no. 9.
But there is also cool stuff before it and after it... so keep opening the doors!

Btw... 17 teams... 24 doors currently... guess who's coming twice? :-)

How does this work BTW? I just started up the game and without playing the levels I can download all the stuff. I did play the last time Mission in Snowdriftland was online, but I assume that doesn't mean I don't have to play through the levels again?

I keep forgetting to give this a go when I'm home from work. Will definitely give it a go this weekend though. Hopefully there us some good Toki Tori stuff, as my gf loves him.

Why is Super Meat Boy here too?
I thought they scrapped the WiiWare and were going for a retail title?

Raylax said:

@21: Because this isn't Wiiware based. Many of those games aren't Wiiware titles.

@Raylax: I was just about to ask the same question about Radian Games inclusion on this list as their games are on Xbox Live Indies. Thanks for clearing that up!

This is a very impressive list of Indie developers! Kudos to Tons of Bits for putting this all together!:)
