Alright,
I noticed Aquaria when I visited GameTunnel and saw thier IGF article. I hadn't heard or seen anything about Aquaria before that but because of the article I decided to check the site out. I am very impressed by what I've seen. The gameplay video and the screenshots look great! The game has quite a unique look to it, along the lines of Wik and the Fable of Souls, yet much broader in scale in scope. The gameplay itself looks much like a cross between Ecco the Dolphin meets Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Now maybe I'm wrong, but I do hope you understand that by making a statement like that I am giving the highest possible compliment for Aquaria because you won't find better platformers than those ones mentioned. I'm still a huge fan of 2D graphics and when they're done this well I can't help but think that big publishers like Electronic Arts are wasting a lot of time and money trying to whip out the next big - "buggy" (or bug-ridden) - 3d blockbuster when there are extremely high quality games being developed by the less popular Indie Developers. Thankfully, I've found that many Indie Game Developers have far more integrity than the large publishers do (which will always be the case now).
So, with that said, when the bugger is this game going to be released!?!?!?!? Bring it on because I'm anxious for this one and have my wallet ready

(I know, I know... you're pushing for May, but I'm serious - bring it on!)

Here's a significant question: Will we be able to buy the game via PayPal?
Thanks and congratulations with the recognition you've already received! The game looks beautiful, sounds great, seems smooth and fluid... if the actual game plays like this then you've definately earned the recognition!
Cheers!
