Flip's Twisted World trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkIAn7KL9Kg This game was so low-key, GameSpot didn't even bother to review it. It was created by a new developer, and they spent four years on this individual project! The game's unique twist is being able to redirect gravity... But really, you're pretty much just flipping 90 degrees at all times, which is still really cool. It pays obvious homage to Super Mario Galaxy and has some enchanting music to boot. I would definitely pick this up if the prices listed were true, but I can never find a copy anywhere. What say you?

Out of this world snes... sooo atmospheric and wildly original but brutally punishing and strange gameplay was a slight head scratcher

Glad it peaked someone elses' interest. It should be extremely cheap now, given that it's been a year and only costs 30 dollars to begin with. Tell me how it is if you actually manage to find it.

GameSpot's Game Market side-bar had it listed as $8. Not sure what it was, though.

Oh, I completely understand that. You might want to look into Dewy's Adventure, too. It's another low-key platform game for the Wii with some unique flair to it.
