Fairly late in development, they decided to have Hellman trace/reinterpret McMillen’s sprites for a more consistent art style.

This game looks beautiful, I can’t believe that 1up guy is dissing it. Kudos to David Hellman for the artwork, I think it was just him wasn’t it?

Also, favourite puzzle game – has to be Portal, doesn’t it? Either that or Desktop Tower Defense is more addictive than we all previously realised…

http://www.nekogames.jp/mt/2008/01/cursor10.html

not sure how long the game been in development compared to how long this has been out, but the concept seems an exact replica of this little flash game.

You’re welcome, but I’m sure you would have picked up on it by yourself in plenty of time to cover it.

Before snippy comments come in, yes, you can experience the mentioned one mechanic of one of the worlds in Braid by playing Cursor10 or Chronotron.

It’s probably my fault, but it seems like this was released with very little warning or publicity. This has unfortunate consequences for me, as I’d expected it to be held back until September. Acting boldly upon that subconscious assumption I sent my working 360 to my brother across the country and haven’t yet taken the time to repair my new one. Imagine my bile.
