From guys who created brilliant Toki Tori 2:


comes RIVE


Demo is part of Nintendo's eShop promotion, download it to get discount.

These are my results on second try:



Check this demo out, it's very cool.

Rive is the only game out of the eight that caught my interest. It helps that it comes from the guys who made Toki Tori 2 aka the best eshop title. I really enjoy how chaotic Rive is.

Rive is pretty awesome. Definitely more appealing to me than Runbow so far, which I thought was the big eShop promotion as of late.

That demo was hot, the shooting and movement feel good. Didn't care for jump being on the left trigger, but it made sense for the controls.  I actually preferred the flying segment at the start more. I believe this game is going on my list.

This game is brilliant and one of the highlights of Nintendo's Week. I found it beautiful and challenging and hella fun! Will buy it on sight from the eshop.

Quick thoughts while playing the demo:* Wow... I kind of suck at this game. 
* The weird slowdown/hitching that happens sometimes is really awkward; obviously this isn't the final version but I sure hope it will be improved before release.
* Despite the two negatives above... this game seems AWESOME. Definitely on my want list.


Hard to believe how different this is from Toki Tori 2. Everyone mentions it coming from the same developer/engine - but this game has nothing in common with that one from a gameplay standpoint. Whether you loved or hated Toki Tori 2, don't let that color your opinion of this one going in.
