Hey guys. Below Kryll comes off as a platformer, but any player who put any amount of time into this game quickly realize that platforming is really just the by product of the actual core of this game: Game Design. I've been watching a really great series on youtube called "Extra Credit" all about game design and philosophy. A lot of the topics they touch on can be applied to Below Kryll. So as a source of study, I'm gonna post the link to the channel here

I recommend starting with this video, which is one of their latest and directly applies to Below Kryll: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnxVOUSzX4A

yeah its a great series! some friends of mine from the EA studio here in vancouver showed me this and i fell in love with it. I think every gamer should watch the series cause it goes into the nitty gritty of what makes games enjoyable. A lot of gamers are highly critical, but lack the knowledge or terminology to express their critique in an informative manner. This series provide you with the tools to both, design games / levels with some industry knowladge, as well as a vocabulary to properly express their opinions. For the thinking gamer, this series is a must.
