Now that this innovative fish-saving game (seriously) has dropped to $15 on amazon.com, you have almost no choice not to buy it. Word to wise, however. In spite its ridiculously cute looks, this is one incredibly challenging puzzle game.

Reading this news made me realize something. Maybe the reason PSP games don't sell better is the almost total lack of promotion. Sony drops a little bit of coin to promote games like God of War. Crisis Core got a lot of hype (undeservedly, IMHO). A handful of other games get some play in news pipes.
I consider myself pretty on top of what's going on with my favorite system, but I've never heard of this game.
It's disgraceful that in this day and age, with almost countless (and free!) ways to communicate with people, Atari was not able to get information about this game out to people like me.

I have heard about this game for a while, and just recently bought it. It is worth 15$ easily.

PSPfanboy has posted quite a bit abut it:

And it is weird that Andrew didn't mention that Downstream Panic! is part of that Game Days sale that they did an article about last week. Maybe because this Amazon price isn't a sale, but the discounted regular price?
As for GoW: CoO promotion, I saw lots of ads for it on tv, granted, Canada is a smaller market so ads get lots more airplay (I saw the GoW ad on SPACE a lot)

Is it any good? I really enjoyed LocoRoco and would be interested in picking a game like it.

It is really unique. I love LocoRoco as well- and I think you will like this. It isn't about tilting, but it has the same feel somehow.

With the 10% coupon that you can print out, I only paid $13.50 for this game at the Game Days sale. And every Gamestop I've been to still has stock.

Not as enjoyable as LocoRoco. The latter is a top-quality game.
In fact, I found the controls to be terrible. I didn't like it.

I'm really sick and tired of LocoRoco mania, so I'll definetely check out this game. The price alone is pretty attractive :D
