Though I went through the trouble of registering and following the game over a year ago, I only just got it the weekend after the patch (waiting for widescreen). Thanks to bit-blot for a sexy, smexy game.
I love castleroids, but it's a masochistic love seeing how few of them come out consistently. That's why Aquaria is great for me. Comparing Aquaria to, say, the latest DS Castlevania is like comparing Edy's Slow Churned Ice Cream to yogurt. It's hard to say this without sounding like a graphics whore, but being pretty is key to being fun to explore for me, and Aquaria's got that in spades. With a unique setting on top of that and solid gameplay, I'm deeply satisfied with this product so far.
I don't think it's linear, but I'm in The Veil. Thanks again.
