S:S&S EP: "sworcery" @ GDC 2010 from Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery on Vimeo.
Watch this video and I bet you'll say to yourself 'I've never seen anything like this before', because boy, that's how I felt. Craig D. Adams, the mastermind pixel artist behind Super Brothers, collaborates with musician Jim Guthrie and Capy Games to give us Sword & Sworcery EP, an adventure/action game that's coming to the iPhone sometime later this year. The atmosphere captured here is absolutely magical, with so much personality and presence in every pixel. Enjoy the above trailer and follow it up with a clip of the protagonist sword fighting with a booby bear. Could you ask for anything more?
I have a good, shivery feeling this is going to be an instant favorite.

Missed the actual battle vid! I've never wished for a time machine more than I have at this moment. Love when the "Grizzled Boor" pounds on his shield before he attacks. For small pixelated characters, they've got great little personality ticks so far:)

Certainly. I love how they cut to that one scene of the lute player... sitting by him/herself. Just 'cause. This game is gonna rock my blocks off!

Liked the video if just for how they presented it as an iphone game, with the circles indicating the touch. iPhone games should be shown this way. Enough of the videos of dark rooms with over the shoulder footage.

Did the sneaking pay off? Get a chance to play this at all?

I *did* in fact, get to play the demo of this. It was *incredible*. I mean, I basically went through all of which is shown in the trailer, but exploring the environment in person was really a tremendous treat. The ending of the demo (not shown) is also very lovely. The atmosphere of this game is spot on, and I can't wait to see more of it..
