I like to suport the small guy indie developers as much as the next gamer but this sportsfeinds looks like the kind of asinine rubbish that shouldn’t be allowed to run on playstation branded products. Keep this on iOS and OUYA.

lol, I’m not sure what to say, I’ve seen the previous post on this a month ago and it just seemed completely odd for me, I think you guys should simply stick to doing it on PS3 where you would get full support and add MORE game modes to make the Joust game more cohesive and understandable with more options. It’s a rather expensive game if you get a lot of people to play with you sadly, so it would be nice to see an entire move party game with the Joust mode being a feature of the game. It just seems…. all over the place for me and currently something people wouldn’t really understand unless they did a bunch of research on it.

Either way, I hope you guys achieve your Kickstarter goal and best of luck in the future!!

@13 I think that Sony requires some level of exclusivity when they let developers use the Pub Fund. These guys want to release these games for other platforms too. I don’t know if that’s actually the issue but it could be.

Ok, I will go away after this… but SERIOUSLY GAMERS… ALL GAMERS…. imagine if Sony DIDN’T support ThatGameCompany…….. we VERY likely would NOT have had Journey……… which is many people’s favorite game of all time now and one of the most inspiring ones for them to create new games / art as well……………

This is how this situation is now. If WE don’t support this game, sadly it seems we won’t see it come out……..

Anyway.. I’ll do my best tomorrow to spread word about this game and get more kickstarter support on any gaming forum I can. I’m too poor right now to fund it all lol but if I had the money I swear I would. I think this game alone is like the “wii sports” revolution was. It’s a great idea because it is so easy to pick up and play for anyone yet so good, ingenious actually.

IMAGINE this game working to the beat of ANY song you tell it to……………………. I just thought of that and I wish a future sequel like that could be made……… again, the ideas are endless… because when you come up with one very unique and fun idea to begin with like this.. it gets creative people thinking and pushes the game industry FORWARD. So lets help push it forward…

Awesome game, I just wish you guys could get past the barrier to entry… I too only have one move controller.. I guess I could buy another but $100 for 2 more is a little much.. hopefully you guys can do a good bundle for this with at least 1 move controller………. I’ll buy it……….. the other games in this collection are very interesting as well, but this one takes the cake. It even took the cake from Portal 2 lol….. which must mean something good because portal was one of the best… :)

I really hope someone steps up and gets this game over the edge on Kickstarter… it still needs a lot of support or it’s not going to make it ……… :(

What will happen to these unique / innovative games if they don’t go through???????

Do we want a game industry that is filled with sequels of similar ideas or a field of crazy unique games like Journey, Flower, Joust, Unfinished Swan, etc…

I don’t understand why SONY doesn’t fund this themselves, to put it simply. Have you guys asked them to? There’s gotta be a way to get this baby going.

@whatisdelicious:
Too bad you missed out on the Black Friday sales
Sony Moves were only $25 ea.

I bought a couple for Xmas gifts.

In all honestly this game probably isn’t for me, but I do appreciate unique indy games.

@10 what a troll
This is a really fun game, if you don’t like it, then don’t support it, no one is forcing you, but this is a very good use for the move controller.

I’m hoping to see mostly this game on PSN, please SCEA support them!

I just wish there was a heavily discounted bundle of this and Move controllers. I only have one Move controller, and as amazing as this looks, I just can’t justify shelling out $50 per controller for ONE game.

It’d help Sony out because more people would actually have Move controllers, and it’d help you guys out (obviously) because people could actually play your game.

It’s just a shame that the barrier to entry is so high because this looks so fun.

Don’t know when the game will be showing in Los Angeles next – but I’m sure some time sooner than later!
