    Yep, another "This is great" comment to add to the previous ones. :D It's the music...that bloody music! I don't know how it works...it's like when you're together, the music is all "D'AWWWWWWWWWW", but once either he or she (I guess that's how I'd refer to them :p) dies, it's like the most frickin' "tugging at my heart chains" music. Love it. The gameplay itself? Hah...normally you'd find me saying something like "It's so simple"...but man, I've been playing for the last 30 minutes and I still haven't been able to grasp the gameplay mechanic. It's mind-boggling in the best way possible!

    EDIT: Oh, and haha...I wasn't aware caskets have genders, but I double-checked and this one's a male. :p

    I'm really enjoying this game! I've tried games like this before but this one seems to have kept my interest longer and I'm impressed more with its clever designs after each level.

    It's really a brilliant game and the love concept is a really nice twist I must also admit that the music really seals the deal here ...awesome!

    This is so great! The controls are really accurate but boy the first few levels was I sure killing myself! It's such a unique dynamic. Really loving it. Will get some more playtime in and post real impressions.

    Very cool! I think you'll find that the gameplay becomes second nature at a certain point. The wonders of perceptual adaptation ;)

    GOOD GAME.

    Got a code earlier and the game doesn't disappoint. It's clever and simple to pick up. It gets addictive very quick.

    Naquatic naturally hasn't disappointed me yet with their releases. I think they've got "quick pick up games - that quickly turn addictive" down pretty well ;)

    They nailed it again with this game, beautiful puzzle platform game packed with mind resting soundtrack. i died a lot in this game but trust me, their puzzle is challenging yet unique, crafted each levels differently and i also love the artwork so much. as always it comes from one of my favourite developer:

    The Gameplay:

    Thank you Naquatic for sucking what's left of my free time, lol. Man, this game gives you that "one more time" feeling not found in many games (IMHO) today. The more I play, the more I'm addicted. Awesome job and oh yeah, when you do die, you will, you never feel cheated. Keep up the great work!

    Ooh, I'm late to the party it seems but I'd love a code (if there are any left) for this gorgeous looking puzzle platformer.
    I will of course leave feedback here in the thread! :)

    I'm excited for this one to release. I think a lot of people are going to like it. I've been playing it for a little while now and it's a blasty blast. Definitly a great change from the dev team. I absolutly love the art style. I highly reccomend this when its released. These are great guys and need to be supported.

    I've been playing this for about five days thanks to an early promo code from Naquatic and I can't recommend it enough. Beautiful art, beautiful music, challenging yet enjoyable gameplay... Just an awesome game overall. I can't recommend it enough. It's a very different game from what you're used to from Naquatic, but that is definitely not a bad thing. The sports games are fun, don't get me wrong, but this game is definitely a step up.

    Fantastik game after playing for a few bunch of levels! Challenging yet rewarding. It's like a brain teaser in perception and coordination

    Naquatic,

    Very impressed with game so far. Reminds of similar mechanics to McLeft LeRight which I found to be too stringent and cumbersome in its timed mechanics.

    Can you explain the differences between the different gameplay modes? How is the Hardcore mode different? What additional rewards or achievements do you get by playing the game in Hardcore mode only?

    Also, what player info are you collecting? Is the game tracking any player stats? What info is being shared with your server?
