Anyone else interested in this game? I really liked the look of it when it was first revealed but hadn't heard anything of it since then until I just saw Game Informer put out a gameplay video today. I wasn't aware that an animated trailer had come out at the start of the month or that the developers had been putting out OST from the game on their YouTube channel through November, so I have a lot to check out and catch up on. I haven't watched all of the gameplay video yet so I'll give my comments on that later when I'm done with it. Smile

Wishlisted. I need this. I love goofy platformers like these.

I didn't get to watch the full gameplay video yet but I love how the grapple jump is just suspending the yoyo in the air to swing from it so you can just use the ability anywhere you want.

If you like fun platformers with charm to them @her you might want to check out A Hat In Time. It doesn't have as much of a goofy aesthetic as this game does but it does have the silly charm and stuff to it still.
