Anyone tried this yet? It's a platformer with a difference in that you place the platforms as your character moves in a constant direction.

Having tried the trial, I quite like it but I think it would play a bit easier with a mouse so may purchase it on Steam.

Like Lemmings?

Not really. You only have Lucy who does her own thing and only goes left to right. I suppose it could be similar by the fact you have to change her path by placing objects in front of her.

Bought it and having a go now.

Bought it? Without even a trial?

I've got plenty of points spare on my account, and I always like to see what Lucasarts are up to these days.

Especially when it's not another Star Wars game.

Seems like an interesting game with some good puzzle aspect to it. Plot seems like it's told in a similar way to Braid.

It looked a bit too basic for me, might try out the trial though.

Although it is pretty simple to complete a level, to get all of the fairies per level it seems pretty complex, not even sure where to begin with some of them.

Yeah, you have to make Lucy climb up, up and away at the very beginning of some levels.

I think her name's' Sofi, not Lucy.

LOL. I prefer Lucy.

Potentially a really great game. The music, art style and general puzzle/platform concept is spot on.

However with the random nature of getting puzzle pieces and the over abundant number of obstacles, the game eventually just becomes an exercise in frustration. Never mind collecting as many fire flies as possible the game just becomes about desperately scrambling to use every piece as quickly as possible to get through praying your luck holds so you get the piece you'll need.

A real missed opportunity.
