How do you make a kickstarter, with video of "gameplay," of a 2D platformer with no enemies, no puzzles, no nothing? Goddamn this is the laziest professional-made pitch ever. And asking $400,000!

What problem do you have with it, exactly? I'm not going to fund it and maybe the goal is a bit lofty, but there's a solid team of developers behind it and the limited gameplay videos they had of it looked like they had plenty of potential. I'd at least give the finished product a shot.

How does it show potential? It has characters that run from left to right, and sometimes from right to left, and also jump. You don't need developers with credits to their name to make that, you need a Saturday afternoon and a copy of Game Maker. Why would you launch something with so little content, and show off just how little you have?

Double Fine Adventure didn't even have a screenshot to show off when it launched the Kickstarter. This game's not finished, and we're practically just watching a proof of concept. But what they've got is pretty, the art style is... well, OK, one of the levels looks like poo poo right now, but the black-and-white stuff looked pretty good already, and the concept and central conceit are interesting.

I mean, I can certainly understand why you wouldn't be interested, but it's hardly a notably awful Kickstarter. They've got a plan for an interesting game, and are openly demonstrating what they have so far and it's not amateurish. I don't know why you're trying to analyse the gameplay from what they've shown, it's the concept and art style they're showing off.

It's just a giant cesspool of amazing.

Man, this is loving astounding. I think my favourite part is that if you pledge nine hundred dollars, you still don't get a copy of the game.
