Award-winning Crayon Physics Set to be Released Tomorrow

Petri Purho’s indie project Crayon Physics Deluxe is slated for release tomorrow, January 7th, according to Petri’s blog.

The title, which won the Seumas McNally Grand Prize at last year’s Independant Games Festival, has garnered quite a bit of attention recently, and with due reason. Its unique puzzle gameplay and stylized graphics make it both original and entertaining, tapping into the simple urges to create and manipulate objects while still managing to keep coherent goals and structure.

Petri is apparently a very honest guy, because Crayon Physics is about, well, crayons. Oh, and there’s, um, physics too. In the best combination since peanut butter and jelly, Crayon Physics combines two seemingly disparate concepts to make an addictive game in which you draw objects in crayon and then manipulate them with basic two-dimensional physics to beat each level.

It’s hard to describe just how clever the game is, so it’s probably best if you just watch the video embedded below.

Crayon Physics can be pre-ordered at the Crayon Physics site for $19.95.
