If you liked Braid or Company of Myself, this is a very similar game.
I've only played for 10minutes and I already came all over my friend about it.

Well, he HATES it and he also HATES braid, so if you didn't like braid, you won't like this.

The story is amazing, the game is entertaining and it actually is CHALLENGING.

Only 5$ on steam, but CPY has released it too if you want. Definitely worth the money though, I hear it's 6hour gameplay?

Well considering this is an amazing game :>

Also, not even half way through and I'm stuck, this is so hard, but I like it. ;)

I'd buy it if it was 1€ cheaper.

What. You're being cheap for 5$.
Most indie games nowadays are between 10 and 20$.
SPOILER


And tbh, even trine which is a 20$ game didn't last more than 2-3 hours.
Same more machinarium, finished it in 2 hours.

I've played this for 2hours and I believe i'm less than a third in the game.
Let's not forget that this is an actual work of art that can't be compared with random light flashes like Beat Hazard, but then again that's just me hating those types of games ;P

Oh well, CPY release works very well, I mainly preordered it because I was scared that it doesn't get a scene release any time soon, but you can very well play that and come back to buy it if you found it interesting, which is what I did with Braid.

Hmm, maybe I should give it a chance. It's just that I end up playing most of these cheap indie games for about an hour or so, get bored, and then never touch them again.

Stop flaunting the CPY release; I know you're only doing that because it's the only PC indie game in the universe I can't get to work.

Well, I'm not gonna lie, if you did not enjoy Braid the way I did (aka skeet all over it) then you probably won't like this either.

That's why I like demos. They either leave me wanting more, or the demo is longer than the amount of time it takes for me to get bored

I'd agree to some extent. For Beat Hazard for example, the demo was enough for me, but if you've played Braid, you'd know that every level is different, and although you can get a taste of the game, and how the movement and stuff work, you still have to realize that there will be far more. Beat hazard on the other hand, doesn't have that much more to offer, from what you get in the demo.

Braid is a good example of a demo that, when I reached the end, I instantly knew I had to buy the game

And you instantly knew you had to make a map out of it.
