I remember reading about this title. I just feel I need another push to buy it. I have yet to buy Awesomenauts, and Jet Set Radio is coming out in like a week, too! I can only pick up 2 for now!
So, would any fans of Dustforce, SMB or other fun platformers suggest this title? :o

Once you've collected enough blood for a checkpoint, you'll get double points if you decide to hold onto it. That's what I've gathered from playing most of Chapter 1, this game was designed with high score attacks in mind. It's pretty fun so far, although the character feels a lot heavier and sluggish to play than she looks - but that's probably due to me being used to the fast paced Super Meat Boy which controls similarly to this game, minus the combo attacking of course.
The Secret World is inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, and it took years for it to come out too. But I bet this will sell more copies.

Yeah man, totally, and how much does it suck that they force you to play these games?
Oh, wait . . .

I liked it until I hit the third or fourth chapter. At one point, the places where you can make checkpoints just become way too far apart, and even then there's rarely enough enemies to fill up your meter between them. Combine that with the fact that you can't see everything and have to explore the level with trial and error dying and it just became more frustrating than fun for me. I wanted a challenge but parts of these levels just get tedious and tiring.
I'm really enjoying it. While I agree that some of the level design leans on trial and error, the platforming controls are precise enough that rarely do I feel cheated by the game. It's a slower, slightly more methodical SMB.
"H.P. Lovecraft-inspired"
So, blatantly racist narrative, dry writing style, weakly contrived mythos? Sounds delightful... says the mochaccino mulatto man...Oh wait let's just say I'm a man of a very low, mixed-blooded, and mentally aberrant type.
Love it already.

Thanks for the difficulty warming, caramel. Looks cool, but considering I found SMB more frustrating than fun I'm going to have to give it a pass.
@Icehearted As a half Saudi half Arab who has seen and experienced racism first hand (you try living in America during the 9/11 anti-middleeastern sentiment with a name like Khalid Walid Hassan Abdula) I have no qualms with HP Lovecraft's writing style or influences on modern culture.
You find anything Lovecraft inspired distasteful because the man was a bigot? Guess what, you better stop reading, watching, or playing anything remotely horror related in the last 40-50 years. Alan Moore, Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, H.R. Giger, Guillemo De Toro, John Carpenter, Fritz Leiber, Clive Barker, Mike Mignola, Dream Theater, and even Iron Maiden are all directly influenced/inspired by HP Lovecraft himself or his writing or both.
Many racists say terrible things while doing great deeds. Say for example, Abraham Lincoln http://www.nps.gov/liho/historyculture/debate4.htm who said this:
"...that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people..."

You don't want to go there with me, buddy. I'm a half black half white man living in Idaho, been here since 1991, and let me tell you a thing or two about racism; I've been turned away from public school, I've most all but one of my jobs, been fucking kicked out of church, because my curly hair offends too many people. Sharis restaurant (in Meridian)? "We don't serve your kind here" after a 30 minute wait. These are common occurrences, it is common to be a n****r no matter where I go to adults and even children alike, and has pretty much defined my life here. How about YOU try being a half black in a deeply red state during an Obama presidency?
You can't possibly imagine what racism has done to me or my family, but I've got a story almost as long as my lifetime where having black blood in my veins is unquestionably an affliction. So spare me your sob stories, your racism issues pale with the shit I've had to endure.
And if we're going to cite Lincoln as a great humanitarian/racist, let's try not to leave out how his great deed was also incidental and only part of his overarching plan to purge black people, his inferior in all respects according to his own words, from America. Don't fucking come at me with half-truths if you want to pick this fight, sport.

Yep, if there's one thing most H.P. Lovecraft fans enjoy about his work, it's the racism. I mean, what else is there in his stories to be inspired by?
Why are you guys fighting? You both get the short ended sticks from the shitty stick pile in America and you deem it necessary to fight verbally over the internet? What a waste of time.
The whole of the world is full of shitty lives and horrible stories. It sucks but the whole world is like that in some way. Some people just cannot understand color of skin is irrelevant because we ALL bleed the same color, red.

Another retro gamepad-breaking platformer? uh, nope.
I think the issue with Lovecraft is exaggerated. He was an old-school white American, of course he was racist, but his books were not about the inferiority of the impure races- they were about the Darkness, yo.
