The album should link to his site as an alternative.
That is the cyberpunk platformer from James Spanos, Primordia's programmer. There is a demo available on IndieDB (I assume the demo will appear on Steam too).

From what I have seen, the game is looking pretty neat (for what it is
).

Despite trying for hours, I've been unable to get good with its control scheme. But I think for players who get the controls, it'll be a really neat game -- cool art, oldschool difficulty, etc.
I'm tempted to get UIHY solely because it's a Wormwood cyberpunk game, but then again, it's a platformer, and from what I gather not a Metroidvania platformer, either. The indie scene has been suffering from major platformer overload for years, and so has my backlog.
Well, I'll pop it on the ol' wishlist.

Hi all! We're very close to an iOS port of Primordia!
This is my wife Janet working on the port. Yes, she does need three computers to do her job. (Build Primordia on PC, then package it on Mac, then run it on the iPad. Then she plays along with a YouTube walkthrough to make sure it works properly. Rinse and repeat until there are no bugs left!)
Anyrate, we are looking for some fresh testers to check it out. If anyone is interested and has an iPhone 4S or higher, drop Janet a line: janet AT wadjeteyegames DOT com. She'll hook you up.
Cheers!

Funny how one learns of things. 
This is great news. I'll post on the WWS feeds.

Doesn't that require an upload to AppStore first? Not busting your balls, just rusty with that system

Honestly I don't know much about the process. I just leave it to Janet! From what I understand, for testing purposes you don't have to go through the appstore. You only need to do that to sell it.

Primordia is worth 50 bucks.

I'd rather people pay $2 and enjoy the other $48 on other things.

Primordia is now translated to Spanish.

We'll have a GOG/direct download patch very shortly.
Tangentially, I was walking through my public library the other day and there was a section that was listed as HAI-HUE and it made me laugh out loud. Curse you, Codex.

HAI to HUE? From Japan to Brazil?
Could've been worse I guess. Could've been HAI to U.

Now $3 on Steam. That extra dollar gets you extra DRM!

Just finished the game and read the novella.
"Simultaneously, it was very flattering to have fans asking for a sequel, saying the story must go on, etc., etc. All the same, I was convinced that Primordia’s story was complete: Horatio’s arc was done (as were his friends’), and the setting would inevitably become less interesting the more we tried to fill it in. Moreover, the story’s themes seemed complete."
Nothing but respect here.
It's easy to lay back and bask in the praise from your audiences, yet you didn't conform to their expectation.
I admit that for me the end does come somehow surprising, I was half-expecting Metropolis to be a pitstop of a journey, like a first town in your stereotypical hero's journey, but when you really think about it, everything in this game, the themes, the story, the characters, they are just...compact, whole, knitted tightly.
I'm guessing we just like the characters too much to see their story ends here, but it's the completion of their story that made us like them in the first place.

Thanks! Fallen Gods isn't really likely to scratch the same itch, but I do hope to come back to adventure games some day, life permitting.
I like to imagine that for Horatio and his friends, Metropol was just the first stop. I don't think they can outrun the world's end, but they strike me as likely to keep going till the last bolt rusts.

I found an excuse to buy yet another copy of Primordia and gifted it to Matt "Chat" Barton.

So I was looking on Twitter for things related to Primordia and found a tweet from someone saying she won't play because it has a male protagonist. Clicked on the tweet to tell her that there is also a female protagonist. Saw Twitter feed. Forsook effort. Man, some people are weird.
