Vessel (not Vassal)

Anyone check out this game yet? I usually am not into similar games but the artwork and steampunk-esque atmosphere has me engaged. http://www.strangeloopgames.com/!

What kind of game is it, Gus, besides a side scroller of some sort?

Looks like an old school side-scroller/platformer/puzzler like you say, but the music and story intrigued me. Plus the liquid graphics gimmick looked cool.

I haven't played a game like this since...hmm...Pitfall II? I may get it just to chill and decompress. Watch it will probably be really difficult and drive me nuts.

This is actually interesting. I'm not a huge fan of side-scrollers, but it might be interesting on a mobile platform.

The buzz seems generally good. I'm terrible at platformers, but I like a good puzzle platformer like this one.

For 15.00 on Steam I am willing to take the risk for the rest of us.

I've not heard of this game Wessel? Tell us about it.

Checkov, is that you?

I got the code to get a review copy but it is not available yet through Steam.

w00t!

I will check over the weekend at some point. The developers got back to me in record time with code and are really happy to be getting the exposure they are...the game is popping up in reviews in a lot of places on the interwebs.

OK I've played a few hours and I have to say it is quite addicting. Once the player gets used to the thinking of the game, it is quite enjoyable. I don't usually play these types of games but the steampunk story, the music and the environments have sunk their [mechanical cutesy] claws into me. Solid game. I'll have a review up in a few days. I think a few of you will enjoy this for sure.
