The game i posted about a while back (GISH) has finally been released on PC, there is a demo available here
http://www.pontifex2.com/demos/gishdemo.exe

Gish is a one of a kind physics based 2d side scroller with a focus on a new and refreshing control style and state of the art lighting and physics. Using his gelatinous body he is able to adapt to his surroundings, become sticky to climb walls, slick to slide through tight cracks and heavy to break through cracked walls and unsuspecting bad guys faces. by expanding his body at a rapid rate gish is able to squish himself down and expand to quickly project himself through the air and attach to almost anything in his path.

I did all the Art and design, the game was coded by Alex Austin from chronic logic (bridge builder/pontifex) it took us 6 months to finish and was a finalist in this years independent games festival (IGF.com).

Id really like to hear what you guys thing of it :) its my pride and joy.

Great game :)

Edmund the art work is very impressive, I wish I could draw like that :D

Also tell Alex that he did a great job in programming the game. I use to be a programmer and with the level of physics he applied on the GISH was just incredible :buttrock:

Hay this thread shouldn't be called "My 1st PC game.. its 2d", it should actually be called "My 1st Awesome PC Game .. its 2d". :D
