I don't know if you guys have heard much of this game, but it is super duper cute! I have been playing a bit of it with Jem, and it is very sweet, and quite tricky!

It centres around two cute quilted-style friends (Ilo and Milo) in their quilted world, who each morning are separated by a changing landscape of cubes. Players can play by themselves, switching between the two characters, or as a 2-player game. The aim of the game is to reach each other in any way you can, and by picking up various types of cubes and putting them in your backpack, they are able to build bridges and propel themselves across chasms to reach their friend. When you finally do meet up, Ilo and Milo do a cute little dance, which has to be seen!

It is a tricky puzzle game, as often to reach each other requires several steps, changing the blocks again and again, as well as changing between players (if playing two player). It is challenging, but fun and very, very cute. The design of the game is amazing, and similiar in ways to Little Big Planet's look and feel, but with an extra edge of whimsy and cushiness. It also has some gravity changing levels, like Super Mario Galaxy, so those with queezy stomachs might need to look away! It's not so bad when you are controlling the characters, but it can be a bit nauseous-making.

I highly recommend! It is a simple x-box download, and costs about very little. Check out IloMilo!
