This is apparantly an overlooked PSN downloadable that is just too adorable and fun. It's made by Russians and it's a physics-based racing/platforming game with little tanks with gears for wheels. Reviewers and consumers, I believe, didn't really like it because it takes some getting used to the strange controls. But once you've got a feel for it, oh man, this is so much, challenging, fun.

Anyone here try it?

I know nothing about this game but I love that "made by Russians" is almost a genre by this point. An awesome genre.

Does it give anybody else a serious Little Big Planet vibe?

how is "made by russians" a genre?

From the top of my head the only Russian game I know is Tetris.

Hmmmmm... I had been thinking of STALKER and Cryostasis, but the developers in both case are Ukrainian. Nuts.

I blame Giantbomb and their lumping in term of "weird Russian games".

There's the King's Bounty remake. And Vangers (a quite old weird driving action/RPG). I don't know more off the top of my head. Don't see anything that would make them near being the same genre.

Russia has quite an active development scene, i don't know how you'd have missed it.

Also, guys. Guys.

Cargo: The Quest for Gravity.

Very easily. Every country has a very active development scene. Just some countries are globally well known.

Guys at Giant Bomb have clearly missed the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Was a team that split off from the Stalker devs, if i remember correctly.

It was not unintentional, if that's any comfort. The fact that I was wrong makes it even more dumb I guess, but I'm not a revisionist, so I won't go back and remove it unless someone forces my hand (or does it for me).

I make a rare topic about a cool downloadable game and TOBLIX needs to destroy it again! He ruins EVERYTHING

It's because Toblix hates the world, but most of all... Himself. ;(

Sooooo, is this game coming to PC or is it exclusive to PSN?

They should make this to PSP PSN.

I think it's PS3 only. The game tanked hugely apparently and I doubt the developer will port this to anything else anymore. Shame!
