A few days ago, Strange Loop Games cut a sharp new trailer for their recently-announced puzzle-platformer, Vessel. A few notes on the visuals: I love the lighting, the water effects, and the zoomed-out perspective, especially when it comes to solving large, multi-step puzzles. Which, as far as I can tell, is exactly what one does in Vessel: nano-machines called fluros suck up liquids -- water, lava, oils -- and retain their characteristics, which our unnamed engineer will use in a series of Rube Goldberg machines. The result seems like a cross between the Incredible Machine games and Oddworld: Abe's Oddyssey, which may explain why Vessel was nominated for a Technical Excellence award at the 2010 Independent Games Festival. Vessel is slated for a winter release on Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, and PC, but will be playable this weekend at PAX. Trailer: Vessel (Strange Loop Games) [IndieGames] Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I have been waiting for what seems like AGES for this to come to fruition. :) Glad to see it is almost ripe! :) But seriously, if you compare this trailer to the last one released, the art style seems to have changed a bit. It looks less cartoon-y and more 3D-computer-animation-y if that makes sense. Like a cleaner and more sterile look or something which I think is a little less cool, but the game itself is shaping up brilliantly. I'd buy it for $20!! 1:00 PM on 05.25.2013 This TowerFall trailer actually makes me want an OUYAMatt Thorson, creator of some of the best indie games out there, has just released a new trailer for his upcoming OUYA game, TowerFall.
