Adam’s Thoughts:
Boy howdy is there ever not any information available about Night Game. Ok, there’s a handful of screenshots that show signs of 2D platforming and a silhouette style reminisent of FEIST. but beyond that we have only a brief paragraph from the developer and the fact that the game is up for the grand prize and excellence in design. Seriously, it’s like Little Mac in Punch Out!, nobody knows anything about him, but he’s here for the heavyweight belt.

The developer asserts that Night Game is a platformer that’s about the experience and exploration instead of violence, so it should be interesting to see what that means to the gameplay. On a heartening note, this is the developer responsible for the port of Cave Story to Wiiware, so at least there’s some good taste in evidence. We’ll dish up anything we can find out about Night Game at the GDC.

Katie’s Thoughts:
You know, the terrible thing about my impressions being second is that I’m trying not to duplicate what Adam has said. Let’s give it a go.

Yup. This game, with exactly two screen shots I can find, is nominated for the grand prize. Um . . . yeah.
