This looks fantastic.

This is the first time I remember seeing that Game Fonds logo. Their site is in German (I assume) and no globally friendly pictures to help me see what else they've made.

I bet this could've been a real hit if it were a 3DSWare game.

We've already seen a small team be denied eShop developer status, likely because they are so small. As I said, I'm not familiar with this Game Fonds team, but they're probably small.

As with something like Fez and this game, I'm honestly not sure it would be helped by 3D. They take advantage of that 2D perspective to hide geometry that would otherwise be obscuringly close to the camera, and cumbersome in stereoscopic 3D.

I don't think 3D would've helped it--I just think being an eShop exclusive gets you much more attention than being a DSiWare game. It would be a shame if the size of the team is what's holding them back.
