Thanks Newgrounds!

Just wanted to say thanks to newgrounds for voting Aether as the top game for last month and helping us each the million plays mark last night! Its not the most accessible game in the world, but with your support we have not only been able to get a ton of press from word of mouth, but are also currently talking to Nintendo about taking the full version of Aether to wiiware late next year.

If you havent played it yet heres a link:

Fine job with the critics!

I wish I understood Aether. Then I'd probably love it.

I wish someone would review my stuff :(

I sometimes understood Aether, sometimes didn't. I couldn't piece it all together to form one big picture.
The parts that did make sense though- Very much DID make sense.

I like the game, like all others that you make. "playing with physics".

But, a full verion, for a console? The game will actualy become bigger with advetures and such? And how long have you actualy been working on this game?

I was really impressed when I was first playing Aether, the mysterious and dreamy music really got you into the whole world and it made me wanna go and explore it all and it's weird inhabitats

Would be awesome to see a full version of it. Great job
