Something Ate My Alien is now confirmed to be launching in June, although there's no exact date they at least have a release window now for their intriguing gameplay mix of action, platforming, puzzles and digging. There's also now a demo.

During the adventure on each planet you have to battle environmental dangers, fight off wildlife, solve secret puzzle chambers, and all this while surviving on a depleting oxygen supply and a threat far scarier than the local wildlife.

Timers are anathema to my enjoyment of video games; I'm a casual player and only resent the added pressure all but the most relaxed of count-downs.
Still there's something so unique about what I see when I watch the video that I'm going to have to wishlist S.A.M.A.. It's just to intriguing to ignore.
