Gotta say, can't wait for the game and congrats about GDC! I keep an ear to the ground on the indie scene and there's somethat that caught my eye.

Looks very much like the Aquaria poster? This one was uploaded in Jan which sorta predates Aquaria's poster (on Derek's site).
The same team did this game from a few years back too. Not saying they're the same but they do look similar, albeit with graphics at horrific 90

That doesn't look anything like Aquaria to me and I've never heard of it.

Yeah man, neither of these looks particularly Aquaria-esque to me...that poster image uses a similar angle to the Aquaria poster, but c'mon, that's a pretty tenuous connection. I did a painting six years ago involving the sun viewed at a similar angle that doesn't have anything to do with Aquaria either.
BREAKING NEWS: SOURCES INDICATE THAT, SOMETIME PRIOR TO 2007, SOMEBODY MADE A GAME SET UNDERWATER, ALSO ANOTHER GUY MIGHT'VE DRAWN A PICTURE OF THE SKY IN PHOTOSHOP USING SINGLE-POINT PERSPECTIVE.

HOLY NUTSLAPPING JIVE-TURKEYS, THIS ONE IS 2D AND INVOLVES A SPRAWLING EXPLORATORY WORLD! (http://images.google.co.uk/images?svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&safe=off&q=ecco+the+dolphin&btnG=Search+Images) Rampant similarities abound.

Looking at the new trailer, I noticed something interesting.
Alec, Derek... has anyone of you ever played an old game called Zeliard?
This Octopus creature sitting in the cove is engraved in my memory. Any inspirational connection?

This Topic started with a link to Satan Sams page. I absolutely disagree with the one that said that he made a gme similar to aquaria. But I know his page for a while and he has no team - all his games are made just by him. And they're not bad. His current project is Tormishire - a very promising metroidvanian adventure. Maybe you should check him out if you got nothing else to do than hit the F5 button to look if aquaria is released.

Thank god that octopus is squatting in a corner, not sitting on a precipice, with a looming tenticle ready to knock your smug dolphin face back down.

instead is sitting in a cave ready to smack your smug....er, whatever-Naija-is face down?
Repeatedly?

Indeed, the welcome difference is the lack of a slowly decreasing oxygen bar.
Anyone who played Ecco back in the day understands where I'm coming from with this.

Ecco was a great game, though. Never tried the Dreamcast version, but the Genesis one was tight.

Verily, however, you can't tell me there's no "slowly" decreasing health bar associated with that. Most painful part of any trailer released so far.
