    Has anyone else played this XBL Arcade game?

    I purchased it purely from the music and art style of the first area (where you select the level to play).

    Basically its a 2D side-scrolling puzzler based around time manipulation. Some of the concepts are amazing ... they may not be brand new, but they're still really well designed and implemented. For example, in World 4, where time is based upon your position on the screen. If you move right, time flows forwards (as does the music), but when you move left time will travel in reverse back to the point it was at when you entered the level.

    The music is among the best i've heard in a game (especially considering its an Live Arcade game) ... the classical styling perfectly suits the impressionist artistic flair of the backgrounds. Its really amazing.

    I heartily recommend everyone download the demo.

    I'm not one to revive a month old topic, but this has to be bumped. Anyone who has not played this game is missing out on an artistic masterpiece of gaming.
