GameXplain: "It bothers me that I don’t like Chasing Aurora more than I do, as it has a lot going for it. The basic premise is really promising, the visuals are gorgeous, and the controls are pretty spot on. It’s just too bad that there’s not really anything to do with all of these great features."

"I can’t exactly say that birds-chasing-each-other-throu gh-the-sky is a game genre with which I have a lot of experience. That’s probably because there are few, if any, that are about that besides the 2012 Wii U game Chasing Aurora. With nothing else to compare it to, there’s only one standard I can judge this game by: fun."
"Don't expect Secrets of Rætikon to join Chasing Aurora on the Wii U eShop, as Broken Rules has today revealed they will not be releasing it on the platform after all."
Am i the only one who doesn't care about indie games?at least the kind like chasing Aurora.Everyone is trying to make the indie scene a huge deal for next gen.
Ah yes, chasing aurora. The game I wanted to buy the moment I put bleach in my eyes.
Edit:
gedden7 pretty much says it.
I love indie games and have bought many on the Wii U. Chasing Aurora was not one of them. I played the demo. Its not a very fun or interesting game.
Its sad that when uninteresting/bad games don't sale on Nintendo hardware, Nintendo gets blamed for it. Maybe if they made a game people actually wanted, people would buy it.
Most indie devs have told stories on success on the Wii U so they can't claim that games don't sale on the console.
Honestly, I bought that game and have only played it once. It has a neat concept and good-looking graphics, but it's no fun if you're by yourself.
I wouldn't blame the lack of satisfaction on the Wii U customers... I would blame it on the game itself.
"Secrets of Rætikon feeds off exploration to direct its core theme of flight; a world where interactions will take place between the player and the animals that reside in it. Of what sort these will be - threatening or calming - remains to be seen. For now, Martin Pichlmair of Broken Rules explained to BeefJack how the concept is developing and how it will differ from Chasing Aurora."
Too bad
That's low...
Chasing Aurora is not "gorgeous" for a 2D game. I think it is kind of plain. Trine2 is GORGEOUS. I mean really this could have looked as good on a Cube, or PS2, perhaps without the depth... anyway gameplay is good at least 3.0
Although the flight mechanics are quite good, the game is as shallow as a puddle and the game modes aren't entirely dissimilar to what you can get in Nintendoland (they're all variations of asymmetric chase games).
Even at a few quid, I can't help but feel I wasted my money on this one :/
