Hejsan
Påsken förra året var jag och ett par andra i Skövde och hade en liten spelträff. Då testade jag detta. Tror det var du som satt där och undrade vad vi som testade det tyckte om det? =)
De senaste veckorna har jag hört om nåt Blueberry Garden och en Erik som vann ett pris osv, men visste inte riktigt vad det snackades om för spel. Så idag tittar jag på nån video som snackar om det och så ser jag att det var ju spelet jag testade för ett år sen! :D Riktigt ball överraskning där alltså… Helt häftigt.
Väldigt nice iaf, grattis som fan till vinsten! ^^ Ser fram emot att få spela fullversionen sedan, jag hade ju det riktigt ball när jag satt i Skövde förra året och testade det. :)
April 18, 2009 at 7:02 am
Coolt! Ja det var många som testade den helgen, fick mycket bra feedback, tack!

My name is Lucas deBoer. I’m from Holland. Saw your game on dutch television today in a game-special.
Is the first game i want to buy because of its appealing and refreshing design. Give me a call when and where it is for sale.
April 17, 2009 at 10:55 pm
Looks great, looking forward to play this!
April 17, 2009 at 11:37 am
Grattis till vinsten! Riktigt kul att spelet kommer till Steam nu till maj oxå! Kan inte vänta :)

The preview video makes the game look interesting enough to be worth trying. But I didn’t see anything innovative in it–it looked totally conventional. What are these other commenters getting all excited about? An unusual and pretty audiovisual style?
Oh well, I’ll keep this browser tab open until you release something playable. :)
April 5, 2009 at 7:03 pm
Hallå på dig! Grattis till priset! Verkar vara ett jättemysigt spel det där. Vart kan man köpa sig ett eget exemplar? Skulle väldigt gärna vilja veta det.. Du kan ju maila när du har tid, eller något. Ha det, mvh Jonas.

I can’t wait to play this game ! You bring poetry that diseapered since videogames began to classify itself into strict styles (FPS, MMORPG, and so on…). You make me feel like when i was young and discovered the magic of computer games : doesn’t care about technics, video prowess and so many artificial artefacs. You make me feel that videogames are still alive and no such this pitiful industry that only cares about itself. Keep the great work ! (excuse my english, im just a little french geek)
March 29, 2009 at 4:50 pm
Thank you so much!!!
March 27, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Congrats! I’m sure you’re very proud! I can’t wait to play it for myself.

I can’t wait to experience or see real gameplay of this piece of art! It’s style is just sexy!
I I don’t think it needs to be freeware, the guy has to live from something too :) From what I see I would buy the game, if I will be able to run it.
What platforms will be supported? Will it run on Ubuntu Linux?

October 4, 2008 at 11:22 pm
I’ve been following news on this game ever since I caught Kotaku’s preview of it months ago. It looks awesome, and I can’t wait to play it on Wii via WiiWare… HINT, HINT! Please bring this sure fire gem to Nintendo please!
