Nibbling at time itself.

Ethan: Meteor Hunter, a very challenging, but nonetheless adorable puzzle-platformer with a cool telekinetic twist that lets you stop time and remotely manipulate the objects around you, is available on GOG.com, for only $9.99.

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/ethan_meteor_hunter][/url]Do you like to take your platformers with extra challenge, crafty puzzles, sleek graphics, and adorable characters? Ethan: Meteor Hunter has you covered! Ethan is but a small mouse, but his special powers are nothing short of exceptional. The little guy can pause time and remotely manipulate the objects around him. That gives him at least some chance against all the devious traps this fantastic puzzle platformer's 50 levels are filled with. You can approach the game in many different ways, simply finding the easiest way to complete each stage, trying to collect all the pick-ups, or aiming at the smallest number of telekinetic manipulations needed to get through a level. That allows each player to find the level of challenge he feels best with, in this masterfully crafted game of reflexes and wits.

Guide one exceptional mouse through many dangerous ordeals and find out how telekinesis and time manipulation affect the gameplay of a platformer in Ethan: Meteor Hunter, for only $9.99 on GOG.com.

Petrell: Game's not my cup of tea but noticed it comes with Finnish! World must be coming to an end! :-p

Edit: This is actually 5th game with Finnish language on GOG. Now this surely must be the end of days!

PixelBoy: Just wait until they add Muukalaisten yö as optional download of Alien Incident. :-D
Of course, first they would need to add the English language version of it (hint, GOG, hint!!!).

But yes, I was surprised to see that language option there as well.

Has anyone made a GOGmix of those other games? I have no idea what those might be.
No need as you can browse the game catalogue by game language, just choose finnish in the second page of the Language drop down menu. Anyway, here they are for your convinence:

Trine
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD
Surgeon Simulator 2013
Shadowgrounds Survivor
Ethan: Meteor Hunter

That doesn't work for Greek btw. Not sure if I should be glad or not, seeing how this is the second game I encounter here with Greek language as an option (3rd, if we count the atrocious Greek in Quest for Glory 5).

xxxIndyxxx: Looks interesting but to be honest i can't take another "brutal", "physics" based, "Puzzle" platformer...

What's wrong with a normal, not too hard but not easy platformer....
Same here, looks the majority of the indie devs only want to make hard games...

I think it's limited to a minimum amount a given language shows up, I think because I am not a web developer/designer/coder :D

If any more Greek games show up, I am sure they'll show up in the browse by language menu :)

Would you prefer them to be too easy? :P

I want them to be fun and not frustratingly hard. When they call it brutally hard in the trailer I know i probably will not have fun with it, but i know there are gamers who love them. It's just not for me.

Maybe it is a case of the web developer just giving up and saying "It is all Greek to me" sorry bit of an English joke phrase there may not translate to other cultures :)

"ich verstehe nur Bahnhof" - would be the german equivalent.
Which might not make very much sense, if you put it into Google-translator... :o)

Edit: "für mich sind das böhmische Dörfer" - would be a second german equivalent.
And, yes - like the first one - put that into Google-translator, and start to wonder... ;)

The splash art for this looks like a rejected cereal mascot

keeveek: btw. there really still are some people who buy those platformers? I hope not.
I do and I love them. Most of them feel like the good old games I played on my C64 about 30 yars ago. So maybe you should stop whining about every release you don't like and try some of them instead (there are demos for many of them).

This looks almost identical to Trine (which for me is a GREAT thing). Can anyone confirm similarities other than the look. Even the screen setup is the same with regard to placement of health, pickups, etc.

The Greek equivalent is "Αυτά είναι Κινέζικα". It means the same as the english phrase but use the Chinese language like "It's all Chinese to me"! In both cases people just use a language which is exotic and hard to learn in their eyes.

Edit: Back to this thread's topic, the game looks very interesting.

Yes the google translate does interesting things with those. By chance I accidentally left off the 'i' from ich on the first one and it translated with a lot more sense, add the i on and google is on a completely different station :)
