"Luckily, with Dewy's Adventure, Konami sidestepped the problems that those aforementioned games ran into regarding the tilt controls; namely the discomfort associated with holding the Wiimote in the standard pointer position. Dewy's Adventure forgoes this, opting instead for the horizontal alignment seen in Excite Truck and Super Paper Mario."
"From what we played, the majority of the game's puzzles revolve around Dewy's temperature-altering abilities. Pressing down on the d-pad will lower the temperature of the world, which will not only turn the ground into ice, but also freeze Dewy, making him all the more formidable in combat. Pressing up on the d-pad will increase the environmental temperature, turning Dewy into a cloud of vapor and giving him the ability to rain lightning bolts down on the unsuspecting enemies. These bolts of lightning are weak and simply stun most enemies, although they can be charged up to deliver a devastating shockwave to a number of enemies caught in the wake of the blast.
While these temperature-based transformations do increase Dewy's strength, they do not come without their drawbacks. When in vapor form, Dewy will float above the stage, but will be immobile unless blown around by stray gusts of wind. Similarly, Dewy may have an improved set of combo attacks when frozen, but controlling him will become more difficult as he slips across the icy terrain. These temperature alterations are limited in time; a meter of the left side of the screen will begin counting down as soon as the ability is activated, although this was never too intrusive in our experience with the game."
The game even features a similar level creator and photo-taking option to Elebits, although just how either of them works in the game is yet to be divulged. ....Konami reps confirmed that both your photos and edited levels can be shared with other players via WiiConnect24, which is most definitely a welcome addition.
