Where's the conflict? I'm a simple man who needs clearly defined goals in my games. These artsy games bore me to tears.
Honestly this guy kind of came off as a jerk. At 55 seconds he shifts his eyes to the side when he says PSP, in the same way people do when they're talking about something they don't like. Then he says the PSP "isn't very powerful." I don't know anything about game design, but the PSP has games like Peace Walker, Birth By Sleep, and Monster Hunter running on it. It's not really that much of a stretch that someone got a 2D game to work on it. I wouldn't be surprised if someone got the game to work on a DS.
Now my problem with this isn't that he insulted the PSP, it was more of that attitude of superiority he presented. If he blatantly said the PSP is a piece of shit I would have been okay with that, but saying "it isn't powerful" sounds snooty like he has high standards. What does he mean by powerful?
I'm probably just over analyzing things like I always do, but I don't like this guy. I'll download the demo to his game and give it the benefit of the doubt, but he is getting no invitations to my cocktail parties.

I don't own an iPad, but god do I love Aquaria! I'm glad to see that it's still getting some attention.
Meh. If the only notable changes are touch controls and easier gameplay then I'm not interested. It's a good game though, too bad so many people got it with the Humble Indie Bundle and didn't play it for whatever reason.

That's a shame cause it's probably one of the best Metroidvania games out there. Trust me, this is no "artsy game" we are talking about here. It has some top-notch atmosphere, environments, and gameplay and I would even say it gives the Castlevania and Metroid series a run for their money.

Always nice to here about this game, so I can remind myself how bad I feel about how I haven't completed it yet.

I had to examine the Declaration of Independence today for "logical fallacies" as a homework I couldn't really find any so I've been examining everything under a metaphorical microscope. I've also been getting really into Phoenix Wright so that's put me in the mood to deduce everything.
With Dtoid I always just post what's on my mind at the moment I read a story, I treat it like a time capsule. Sometimes I have something interesting to add other times it's just meaningless rambling. I think this time it falls underneath meaningless ramble. I like it best when I ramble it's always fun to check back in the comments and wonder what I was thinking at the moment I wrote something.

I think you're projecting way too much Scissors. They made a game for PC, were surprised when someone was able to port it to the PSP because the game was never made to work under those limitations and saw an opportunity to port it to the iPad which is another low powered machine. So I suppose he could be acting condescending towards the ipad too... which would be odd considering they just sank all that dev time and money into making this version.
@Laharl-KOTNW: All the things trying to kill you serve for pretty clear constant conflict and there is a plot. Honestly where are you getting the idea there is no conflict from?

See that makes total sense, but if I thought about that I wouldn't have embarrassed myself, and embarrassing yourself is half of the Dtoid fun. I have to hit my weekly quota write something informative here, write something humorous there, squeeze something outlandish there.

I've got a spare ipad actually. Looks like i'll be investing in some sturdy footwear as well. Not heard of this before. Worth picking up?
Surely you'd want to play the version where the game and its art isn't horribly obscured by your fingers?

Let's not go banana's now, plenty of indie games use the Metroid style of world/progression.

But the other indie Metroidivanias are very small and skinny, Aquaria is a 20h long game with so much to explore, so many power ups, so many secrets, the game is really beefy, it's almost a "Tales of Metroidivania".
