In which you may or may not learn from your past mistakes, while playing something vaguely like VVVVVV with an insane gun, and a sharktopus.

That is one excellent trailer.

Spotted on the (http://www.indiegames.com/blog/2011/03/trailer_no_time_to_explain_tin.html) Indie games blog by way of RPS.

That looks fucking goofy and probably not to my taste, but I loved the bit when he gets back to busting into his own house and tosses his past self.

There's a (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/558562) flash version if anyone wants to try the concept.

On their site there's some (http://tinybuildgames.com/developing-an-identity) wicked concept art that they actually decided not to use because it wasn't funny enough. A shame really. IMHO if you got the screaming you-from-another-time it doesn't really matter what style you chose, it'll be funny. Those concept sketches are an awful thing to waste..

Damn, that concept art is awesome. I wish the game looked more like that.

Looks like an interesting game. I saw this on RPS and put it on my watch list. The zapper-gun thing is what piqued my interest, particularly how it is tied to movement in situations. Going to sample that flash ver. in the meantime, thanks for the linkage, addlink.

Ehhh... fiddly. A bit too fiddly to be enjoyable. But then again I seem to remember the controls in the flash version of SuperMeatBoy feeling a bit off as well, and that one turned out alright once it got a proper release.

Also I think I managed to break that flashversion. I ended up on top of a UFO which I'm not sure I should've been on.
