Crikey, as if you didn’t have enough to play this weekend already! Frozenbyte have released the first part of their forthcoming physics platform puzzler as a demo. It’s 460mb, and you can get it here. The full game is apparently out on July 3rd, and you can, should you be so inclined, compare your impressions of the demo with my own thoughts on the full game, which are here. Please do play this one, I thought it was splendid, and Frozenbyte are definitely a developer you should pay attention to.

Eh yeah, I guess it’s $30 on Steam but $40 on their website? Weird. The Shadowgrounds bonus does me no good though, as I already bought the both of those games…
@The XP:
Oh, colour me buggered, then. That’ll teach me for not playing through twice…
Not a very good installer… it didn’t like my username with a ‘-’ in it at all.

You can get somewhere around 75 or so green vials in one play-through, just depends on how many skeletons you kill as they randomly drop them in addition to the ones you find scattered about.
Great, great demo – would be a definite buy, if it wasn’t for the lack of mid-level saving. As it is, I might, but the idea that I will have to replay a level from the beginning if I decide to quit the game is pretty much a dealbreaker.
Er, in case that isn’t clear: I am not asking for quicksave, just that I can continue from a checkpoint after quitting the game.
Finished up playing the demo and was on my way here to say “Sold”! Then I realised it was £25. Phyiscs or no, a platformer is a plaformer and I’m not willing to throw down that kind of money on a genre that I finished with 15 years ago.
They have the Demo on Steam, too.
I downloaded the demo off Steam. Wow, nice ! I don’t play alot of games due to lack of spare time, but i will most likely buy this.
This game is wonderful and clearly a labour of love. Definitely getting this on day 1.
It’s a very pretty, reasonably clever and unique little platformer. Still, though, $40? Seriously? Especially considering the inclusion of a multiplayer mode I’ll never get to use, I just can’t see that. I’ll pick it up at a discount somewhere down the road.
World of Goo, Plants Vs Zombies and now this. Is PC gaming amazing or what?
Loved the demo, but find it very odd this is selling for only $20 on the PS3, but $30 on Steam. And the developer’s justification (”[Pricing] guidelines are set by our publisher. Trine is far from a game created by a solo hero developer (we have over 20 employees and Trine has contributions from a double amount of people)” and “we are very confident that we can deliver a full retail experience with Trine (hence PC version is sold in retail also for approx 35 to 40 eur/usd!)”) seems pretty weak. Also seems at odds with their statement that “However, if players, sales and press show we are wrong we will definitely check the pricing”.
I’m guessing sales will show they are wrong and the price will drop like a stone. Pick it up at under $20 I think.
bought it on pc, great game. Controls well both with keyboard and mouse and wireless 360 controller.
