I downloaded the demo for this last week (from the American PSN Store) and was immediately hooked. It's a simple, artistic little game, with catchy music and compelling gameplay.
Here's a hand's-on review:

A brief run-down of what you do, basically you are a little character called a "Grimp", and you have to cast your web to swing from whatever you can grab onto, in order to swing into blobs of pollen that float around the level. The more pollen you collect, the more full-up the seeds get. Then you can trigger a seed to allow a plant to grow, enabling you more places to swing from in order to reach the glowing "Spectra" that complete the levels.
It sounds a little confusing, but it's an entrancing game to play and I can heartily recommend it.
