Holy wow, the first video on that IndieGames.com article is what I just recorded last night. Glad to see it's being some use to people. :P

I was going to post my video, but.. I guess it's already been done.

Ooh, got another one here:

The mod at Railgun.newz.dk said that he regarded the news about the game as "not interesting", and then he dismissed my well written article.
That makes me so furious!  >( >( >(

that’s plenty when it comes to anything made by Nifflas—who has previously made the brilliant Knytt and Within a Dark Forest.

That made me smile. :)

Can you guys link me to this "Within a Dark Forest" game, as I don't recall I've played it yet.  :P

Yes, blog posts are fine. My Spanish isn't that good, but I can tell yours is a very nice blog (having links to most of my favorite indie games, as well as Excel as a deity)

Welcome to the Forum, even in case you didn't plan to stay.

Thanks, Razzorman - the folks on that site really like talking about Saira, it's their second entry on this list.

It's funny how they describe the game:
Quote
If you like Metroidvanias, you'll love Saira. If you hate Metroidvanias, you'll love that Saira doesn't actually feel like a Metroidvania.

I don't think that similarities with Nifflas other games would have made people talk about it more.
