I just couldn’t get the spell to “stick”, but I know now it’s not broken so maybe I was just trying to move things too fast or something. Will try again later because it looks like such an interesting game.

Dave?

Eh? You just grab and drag stuff around. The pace of the levitate isn’t blinding, but it’s certainly practical. So I don’t think it’s broken.

This is a nice game. It feels agreeably smooth and fluid and is a joy to play. Will probably pick it up when I’ve got some money to blow.

The demo looks really lovely but is it just me or is the levitation spell broken? I can only seem to nudge things along 1cm at a time which made it impossible to progress beyond the second wizard room.

Yep this jumped out at me as an Imogen/Cadash hybrid with a modern twist. Both spectacularly good games in their time.

They have the Demo on Steam, too.

Curse you shadowcat beating me to the punch. I’m sending an AIM-o-gram round your house now… But still Imogen was ace!

This reminds me (slightly) of Imogen, a lovely little BBC Micro puzzler that Ovine made an absolutely superb freeware [url=http://imogen.ovinebydesign.com/]remake[/url] of a few years ago.

It shares the “transform between three different characters to solve puzzles in a 2D platform environment” aspect of Trine (even if the style of gameplay is really different) and I thoroughly recommend playing it.

It all depends on how well the game handles single player, since with only coop in-room I’m always going to be playing it by myself.

Not even an edit feature can save me from misediting my posts. In the above ramble, move the )-bracket four words to the left to make sense of the garble.
