Pies, pies and more pies. I was drawn to this XBLA game by the silent movie-esque art style and the fact its a 2D puzzle platformer. Having downloaded the demo and taken it for a spin, I am sorely tempted to convert to a sale. Closest comparison I can think of is Braid with Clanks time puzzles from Ratchet and Clank’s: A Crack in Time. Whilst this game doesn’t have the refinement of Braid, it certainly works well given the art style.

You play a Ebenezer Scrooge type character, who must have and eat all pies, till he happens across 1 pie that is alive. Your quest for this most elusive pie sees you tearing apart the fabric of time and hence why you can time clone yourself, this aids in the completing of the puzzles. The only thing that has me worried, is just how insanely complex I could imagine the puzzles getting. I shall certainly be going back to take the demo for another spin, before I see if its worth the 800 Microsoft Space Bucks.
