Well, I'm not a platformer fan, precise coordination bits make me nervous instead of amused, but I really must say that level makingmusic476 posted is really fascinating, if I was a fan of the genre, this could become my top game. I like a lot that almost Tomb Raider-like scenery too, almost a mix between the aztech levels and the floating island ones, more than others I saw browsing the net.
And the editor and its possibilities, if I had kids, I could give it to them for Xmas, even as an extra gift if they asked something other, I think the creative part can really have educational value without the pedantic downsides true educational games often have.

 

   I can't remember the last time I bought a pure platformer and yet I love this game more then anything I have played in years.  Its appeal, especially after you play it, extends well beyond just people who already like Mario and Sonic games.  It really is something completely new and exciting.  I would bet 90% of gamers and even 70+% of non gamers will love this game if they try it for more then a few minutes.  It's a barrier breaker.
