Sounds like an interesting game. I am going to have to download it.

I downloaded it, but haven't had a chance to play it yet. Definitely looks interesting.

It was quirky. I've heard Pikmin comparisons but since I haven't played Pikmin I can't speak on that regard. The enviroment reminds me a lot of Fable.

I agree. The screens and videos I've seen do look Fable-ish.

Tan, how did it play out? Fun?

Yes very fun. Very Fable-ish as well, but with a dark sense of humor. Your evil deeds fall somewhere between cliche comedy evil and delinquency. A third person sword and sorcery adventure with item gathering, exploration, minor puzzle solving and minor RTS elements. That sounds like a tall order but it's very easy to play.
