Woohoo! I wondered when it would finally be time - it was a Grand Prize winner on the Independent Games Festival after all!

I seriously recommend you this game - it used to much more expensive ($30) but it's worth the money and I know the devs from some forums and their TIGSource blog, not to mention various conventions they held lectures on etc. They're quite awesome (and so is this game ^^).

Check out some videos and try the demo - this game is HUUUGE for what it's worth - like 20 hours or so...

Some gameplay (very early in the game):

I thought that main character was a dude.

Then I checked out the rack!

This seems like something you'd be into Lim-Dul...... You are one sick pup....

It kinda looks like Ecco the Dolphin, except instead of a Dolphin it's a He-She.

Ladyboys!

Anyway, l've heard about it and it looks like it could be my type of game.
Looks like it's cheaper if you buy it before the 31st as well, I might consider it for that price.

Truth be told the image I posted is fanart drawn by one of the guys who made World of Goo, not the original authors of the game, so perhaps HE has some problems with drawing females. :-P

Yes, the game is a bit like Ecco the Dolphin in that you move underwater and do lots of explore-y stuff. However, Aquaria is much more complex and cool. You gather resources to prepare special stat-boosting food, you acquire different forms that allow you to solve puzzles or reach new areas - also, there's lots of fighting and then the game starts resembling a 360 degree shooter. If I were to describe the genre of the game it feels like an underwater metroidvania.
