Non-notable software: coverage seems largely to spring from its mention in a web comic, not a reliable source. Other than that it was a runner up in a minor contest. Not clear it will ever be notable: few independent games make much impact. But if it is that can be revisited after the game is released: WP is not a crystal ball.

I'm not in any way knowledgeable about the WP requirements for notability at all, but there is some stuff I think might qualify as notability - it's been covered on Rock Paper Shotgun here (not sure about this one, it is a blog even if it's a blog by well-known gaming journalists), by the PCGamerUK podcast here, and I think I remember it being covered in the print edition. Plus, being nominated for an Independent Games Festival award is actually a pretty big deal. Things like Darwinia, Audiosurf, World of Goo, and Machinarium have been award winners there. Like I said, I've no idea if that actually means it meets the verifiability criteria. Gonna attempt to find it in old PCGs now. Supersheep (talk) 02:53, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Keep per coverage found above, plus coverage at Kotaku, a Gamasutra interview, Shacknews - and that's just the first four results of the WikiProject Video Games reliable sources search. --Teancum (talk) 13:06, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep – I can verify Teancum's findings above. Looks like notability is sufficiently asserted here. There is also [1] which is a nomination, but I don't know if it amounts to much. –MuZemike 07:50, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
