RAAAWR!
i am teh gish master. i am all powerful gishgod roid and no-one can beat me ...probabaly.
ph34r my ninja like ability to jump off cliffs, stick to the walls of my house, and my amazing tarlike body odor.
(i've only got the gish demo atm, and boy is it cool)

unfortunately, i don't know how good everyone, or in fact ANYONE else is at gish.

so.... how good is everyone?

download the demo here.

i wanna know how well you do at the 1st level of the collection mode, (the higher the time you have left the better, uh, yeah i don't need to say that). to get to this, start a new game and select collection mode. you have 1:30 to collect ALL of the coins in the room, the amount of time you have left when you get them all is your score.

my best score so far is 1:01. as you can see i've only broken the 1 minute barrier this once... so far.

afaik i rock and am the dog's nuts (this is a good thing i think).

can you knock the all powerful roid from the pedestal? try try try ... mmmmmhohahahahahahahahaa.


(no seriously, i wanna see if i'm good, or if i'm actually sucking compared to everyone else, i don't know)

if you don't know what gish is. it's difficult to explain. it has the coolest implimentation of liquid physics i've ever seen in a game. it's a platformer game right, but normally i don't like platformers. but this game is WAY different.
you really have to see it to understand, but basically your character is an alive blob of tar, it reacts very realisticly as a blob of tar to it's environment. the physics implimentation is 2nd to none as you use the laws of physics to swing, stick, plat and splurt your blob around to where you want it. the moves you can pull off can be so cool, almost ninja like, and the control is completely non-scripted, eg: when you jump you kindof "flex" your blob's muscles, and as per inertia and the laws of physics: this kindof pushes you off whatever you are currently touching. none of this "run scripted jump animation" crap. it's all completely controlled by physics.

the game isn't winning awards for no reason ;)

Oh man. That's cool! Swinging around on those levers is a lot of fun... 1:00.3 is my best so far.

1:11 "is" possible. I seriously doubt a time better than that tho.

That's quite an addictive little game there.
