    This is a wiiware game coming out before the end of the year that is really going to take the "2D platformer w/IR pointer interaction" to a new level. Mainly in that you are creating designs/objects that instantly spawn and are part of the world which are fully subject to the physics of the game.

    there will certainly be a limit to the amount of ink that can be used within the game world at a given time, but also a quick eraser tool. Can't wait for this, and it's just one of a disgusting number of top tier games hitting wiiware before the end of the year

    This came out today in NA, and Europe has had it for a while. Wiiware

    It's basically Crayon Physics deluxe mixed with a solid platformer and beautiful art style. Soundtrack in the early levels wears a bit thin. Played for a couple hours tonight. Highly recommended
