Indie developer Polytron has released a delightful new trailer for Fez, showing off a full five-and-a-bit minutes from the version that was recently demonstrated at PAX East 2011.

As you'll see, Fez is a 2D platformer set in a 3D world, which players can rotate to discover and create new routes through levels. What may seem an uncrossable chasm from one angle might vanish when viewed from a new perspective. It all looks quite clever and more than a wee bit lovely.

Fez is due to be released via Xbox Live Arcade some time this year. Polytron is co-publishing it with Warp developer Trapdoor.

  god I can't wait for this game. I played it at pax. The starting area feels pretty rich and there's a lot of really cute short bits of chatter from the characters. that beginning part kinda reminds me of what paper mario used to be like before it got all insipid and long-winded.
