Pencil in your own price for Crayon Physics Deluxe
Following the example set by the very successful pay-what-you-want World of Goo sale, Crayon Physics Deluxe creator has dropped the price of his physics puzzle game to the low, low, price of whatever. To celebrate his birthday, Kloonigames' Petri Purho has instituted a "pay what you want" sale through January 15. It's up to you, then, whether you follow the example of the guy who paid $150 for World of Goo, or of the jerks who paid a penny. We might suggest that paying a penny for the game that he worked on for years is a pretty crummy birthday present to give Purho. Try the demo first -- it's actually free. [Via VG247]
MarkerMan, MarkerMan, doing the things a marker can
We haven't heard much about Glyphic Entertainment or the studio's Warlords DS port since publisher Strategy First dropped all of its DS titles, so we assumed the worst for the Ohio-based developer. Apparently, however, they picked up another publisher for Warlords DS (Fog Entertainment) and are hard at work on an original game for the Wii and DS -- Markerman!MarkerMan!'s mobility and physics-based puzzles are like a cross between Kirby: Canvas Curse and Crayon Physics (or its DS homebrew equvalent, Pocket Physics). We would accuse it of looking too much like Crayon Physics, actually, especially with the identical soundtrack, but there's still plenty of time for Glyphic to establish MarkerMan's character before the game's scheduled "Q3 2008" release.Though it doesn't look like a high-budget production at all, that's part of the charm! We're in love with the graph-paper background, crayon scenery, and the stick-figure dog. We wish we had a stick-figure dog, now.[Via GoNintendo]
