[Here’s the trailer.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7l3N-yNVBo&videos=0KST2vTzwA8&playnext=45)

I love the design of this little game. It all happens in a 2-D world made out of fabrics, yarn, buttons, embroidery, etc etc. Ever seen an embroidered little character catch an felt dragon with buttons for eyes, by catching it with a wool yarn lasso? 🙂

That looks like a lot of fun. I always liked Kirby, so I"ll be keeping an eye out for that.
