I tried with a game of my own too (UFHO), so I can't but feel a little bit envious :) I'm downloading the trial for the Graveyard, let's see how it is... I hope it's not too good or I'll have to buy it! Regards, Hi guys,
compliments for the nomination at the IGF!

I’m downloading the trial for the Graveyard, let’s see how it is… I hope it’s not too good or I’ll have to buy it!

You should try Edmund McMillen's other game called Aether. As beautifull graphicly, and the atmosphere of dreaming to run from lonelyness is grappy for the heart. Too bad it's just hard to find what to do on some planets to "finish" the game. Man, I keep forgeting telling stuff…

Poetic and esthetic adventures are just beside shooting madness games. I musst say that it's too bad that the loadings in Coil are so long... The experience is pretty nice but cutted. Good look!

Which I personally welcome as a move away from the tired "innovation" in terms of "gameplay" (which always ends up in either physics simulations or bending time or space or something). You Have To Burn The Rope shows that a game can be <I>about</I> something (even if this something is games itself, in this case). I for one am happy that for once it's not <I>our</I> game that's getting everyone worked up. :) But even if the name of the category is a bit awkward, shouldn't we expect a bit of oddness in "Innovation"?
