It reminds me of like a free-roaming version of Pixeljunk Eden with a dash of Defender, the look of Patapon and even Out of This World thrown in for flavor. It looks absolutely spellbinding.
Two things:
1: Make a Mac version for Pete's sake. We'd play stuff like this.
2: The play control would be infinitely easier on a Dualshock, hint hint.

That looks amazing. Both visuals and gameplay. Also, awesome title. I do believe this game wins. I don't know what it wins yet, but it wins.
Seriously, please watch the HD version. The standard def video that's embedded there looks like total buttass, comparatively.
I am awake, but not because I woke up early. I am up late.
As for the video, it certainly look beautiful, but I'm not sure that qualifies it as a "games as art" specimen. It has gorgeous artwork, yes, but I don't think we can judge from the trailer whether we will call the game as a whole a work of art.

Holy jesus fucking shit christ hockey pucks. This game had better come to XBLA and PSN or else, I don't really play PC games.
Please please please please please.

This looks great, SolarJetman++ meets awesome artwork+animation.
If this plays even half as well as it looks like it does, its a must buy :)

I'm guessing dual-stick controls with some trigger action, maybe. Either way, this definitely has my attention.
I get a very world of goo vibe as far as the art goes. Maybe it's all the black/shadow stuff. The animation is friggin amazing though. Game looks..difficult, however.
I updated the embed to a Youtube version because it looked better. Which is just... fuckin' sad. Really, GT.

Agreed. Beautiful looking game doesn't automatically qualify as art on the whole. However, this was one beautiful looking game and the visuals alone pull this off.
That music was absolute shit, though.

any ps3 owners want to help me get attention for this game flood my forum @ http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=psnetwork&thread.id=460702 sorry for the long url just want people to know its really a forum
I agree with Technophile, it looks a lot like World of Goo, if WoG was an extremely hard and quick paced shooter with amazing music by Dimmu Borgir (not that there's anything wrong with WoG's Danny Elfman-esque soundtrack though)
I wonder if that song is only for the Trailer, or if Dimmu Borgir is actually going to do the full game's soundtrack.

I know I'm just repeating what everyone else said, but I can't not comment on this: This looks absolutely amazing. Day 1 purchase for sure.
I hope it does come to XLBA, because my computer would definitely not be able to display it as smoothly as the trailer. It just looks so beautiful.

Wow. This looks awesome. XBLA certainly needs some more games with a distinct art style. One of the things that PSN has going for it is in the diverse and "arty" selection of downloadables. Good to see XBLA going dlightly in that direction.
I met Michel Gagne at a convention. He showed us lots of game footage and this trailer months before anyone had seen it. The game is 99% all hand-drawn animation. It looks absolutely brilliant and I can't wait for it!
Michel admitted he isn't a gamer and hasn't played a lot of games in his lifetime. The dev team saw this as an advantage and won't let Michel play any games because it would "ruin his vision."

This is looking so amazing. I love the art and the gameplay is to die for!!! I really hope this comes to XBLA, it would flourish!!!
If anyone isn't familiar with Michel Gagne, they should visit his website, not only has he made some cool television shows, and some bizarre but fantastic children's (style) books, but he was also a Lead FX designer for WB 2d animation department, which means he was the lead on the fantastic Iron Giant and the less than great, but still decent Osmosis Jones feature films. Warner Bros. had one of the best 2d fx in movies at the time, and it was do in large part with this man.
If MP2:Echoes and Clive Barker's Abarat mated in my mind, this would come out. Looks like they mated in Gagné's.

Wow, that's a very interesting approach to making the game.
