Whatever happened to this game? I remember seeing trailers, and some hype over a year ago. Even on the Nintendo channel. Look like a game right my alley, and I just remembered it now.
You mean Night Game/Sky from Nicalis? Then I have no clue. The Nicalis blog has been down for a while, which is odd. But I thought the game would be released sometime this year.
Usually they aren't, but lately? Saira definitely could look better, and Finck couldn't look worse. I love Knytt's look, and Night Sky couldn't look better. I hope that game is still in the works.
Just got Saira this weekend as part of an indie games pack on Steam. It's actually quite a beautiful game, but it needs to pick one aesthetic and stick with it. The backgrounds are photorealistic, the foregrounds are Out of This World / Another World-ish, the main character looks like a Colorform and the enemies look like they were plucked from flash cartoons. Any of that would work in its own right, and, arguably, still works within this game, but you're always too aware of the visual discrepancy.
Regardless, I'm very much enjoying its puzzles (real, legitimate brain-teasers...not "try everything until it works"), and I'm quite happy to play it.
...kind of. I do have to point out that this game has some of the worst jumping control I've ever experienced, Niki included. Which isn't so bad most of the time, but when they expect you to fast-platform your way through death traps, you'll find it gets frustrating real fast.
Anyway, we'll see how I feel as the game goes on. For now I'd recommend it at its reduced price. Full price...we'll see.
Oh, and Night! Or, Night Game! Or, Night Sky! Or whatever they heck they're calling it next week. Looks good.
