Swipe Knight looks pretty cool, on indiegogo now.

This hasnt even been released yet. MM and Mario have easy controls, but they are fine tuned like you wouldnt believe. Just because theyre simple controls, doesnt mean they are simple to get right.

You're preaching to the choir here. Everything I write about usually tangents on how great Megaman/Mario/Shovel Knight controls are. I wasn't talking about the controls in terms of technical skill, I was pointing out that simple controls don't mean a shallow game. I hope you agree with me on that.

That said, his game play demo shows the controls being pretty responsive. Can't be positive until I get my hands on it, but they at very least look competently done.
