Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



After months of beating the game into your skulls, Aquaria is finally on track for a firm release date: Just a week from now, which slips the game into Bit Blot's promised 2007 release. In the week leading up to the drop, the devs plan to show off screens, artwork, music, and other behind the scenes information, all culminating with a free demo and, of course, the full version priced at $30 for a download.

Having been eagerly anticipating the everloving crap out of this game for months, I'll do my best to get some impressions of the game as soon as it's available. Support indie development and check out the demo when it drops at Bit Blot's Web site. I will so miss these regular outpourings of completely unhinged anticipation.

Big ups to community dynamo Lukich, who beat me to the news -- good thing, too, else I might've missed it. Thanks, yo.

i didn't really care about this game before, but after seeing the video I am really interested. It looks like a solid title.

If you turn up the volume really high on your computer, you can hear that monotone woman say, "Please develop me for the Wii."

This is exactly what I pictured when I heard that original content would be coming next year... hopefully this gets a good enough reaction to show developers that there's an interest for a unique style of game, like this. I'd probably pay 30 buck, too, if the wii could somehow find the space for something this size.
