Nice amount of gameplay, the reviews coming in so far are fantastic :D

Possible spoiler/easter egg: 8:30 on the LCD screen- what is that image? Looks like it reads 'Velocity' (maybe a game reference I'm unfamiliar with?)

Humans in Oddworld? What is this sorcery?!

It might be some of the devs faces or like a "in loving memory thing" man... I hope after a year they tell us what secrets we all missed lol.

It gets me thinking, what stuff did they want to add but couldn't.

Velocity is a PS3/PS Vita game, it's definitely a reference to that.

huh, woulda made more sense if it was Gravity Crash, but ah well

I'm actually very interested to see what TotalBiscuit has to say about the game, Proving he actually does a video on it once it's out on PC. Puzzle platformers are not his favorite thing but I hope he looks past that and is impressed by it.

Ah.. The velocity thing is possibly homage to the other indie games at the moment.. I think I also saw that 'don't starve' aswell..

Just watched it on iView. (21:21 S10E26)

Bajo and Hex both gave it 8/10

I don't think I've seen one negative review so far. A couple of reviews with a more mixed vibe but so far the game seems to be a critical success. Hopefully they get those sales now, too.

Connell 08-10-2014 08:58 AM

I had an idea to figure out how many sales they've had so far. Assuming the leaderboard is now working and accurate, (I've just given up on it to be honest, my scores wouldn't send no matter what) if someone were to scroll to the end of the Rupture Farms leaderboard, surely the amount of people who have completed that level would indicate how many sales there have been? I think it's fair to assume everyone who purchases the game will manage to complete Rupture Farms.

Holy Sock 08-10-2014 09:55 AM

I'm pretty sure the leaderboard is getting further improvements in the 1.04 patch. Also, there will probably be a few out there who haven't made it past the first level but I imagine it would be an accurate estimate.

But New n Tasty still has 7 ports coming so I don't think we'll see them reaching their target for a while, at least. But they were second only to The Last of Us Remastered in July so they mustn't be doing too terribly.

Yeah, I haven't bought it, but I most likely will when a PC version comes.

Holy Sock 08-10-2014 12:26 PM

I will also get it for PC but I doubt my laptop would be able to match the quality of the PS4 let alone be greater than it.

That's a fair assumption. But on the other hand not everyone who completed RuptureFarms did buy the game. Don't forget that JAW gave out plenty of review codes. Not that I expect this would have a significant impact.

It is, yes.

I still have nightmares.
