    It's a well-polished side scrolling adventure in an amazing world, filled with wonderfully weird environments and creatures.

    The only thing insane here would be your failure to download this game.

    If there was just a bit more content in the game, and if the focus was more on solving puzzles, I have no doubt that this would be a huge hit.

    This game feels like shadow complex, but with a flying saucer strapped with deadly weapons; so I loved it. giant map to explore with markers set for upgrades/hidden movies/concept art/new weaponsuseful gagets. If Limbo and shadow complex had a baby it would be named Insanely twisted shadow planet. Each section of the innerplanetary body/map has cool and challenging bosses, and enemies feel strangely lifelike. The game is a download for 15 bucks and that is a deal for a game like this. it's a thinker sometimes as well, so have fun.… Expand

    I'm surprised at the scores this game is getting from critics. I expected them to be much higher. So far this is the best summer of arcade game released this year. It's a metroid-vania style game, of which there are far to few. The game is absolutely beautiful. The campaign is hard to put down once you pick it up. The controls are exactly what you want them to be. The weapons are all distinct and original. The co-op mode is hard to put down. The only fault I can find with the game are the story cinematics you unlock while collecting artifacts throughout the game. They're so short it feels like the game would be better off without them This fault is so minor though, the rest of the game more than makes up for it.… Expand

    This game is great !!! The way you control de ship independently from the weapon in very similar to "geometry wars". The way you unlock places on the same map and defeat bosses at the end of each map sector is similar to "the legend of zelda". All of that is very good. Multiplayer gameplay (lantern run) is also very enjoyable, but there should be many more multiplayer modes, not only that lantern run. Game is a very enjoyable game but it's too short.… Expand
