Just seen this in an EDGE article. It's described as a spiritual successor to Populous, but it hasn't got the objectives from the sounds of it. It's more about just your people surviving in its current state. What's impressive is the realtime environmental evolution, that these worlds are built according to natural principals and a little bit of interference by the player. The YouTube trailer shows these forces in action and the results, and it looks impressive.
Without a 'proper' game structure, with no particular goals or real sense of success, I was feeling cautious, but if it's lower priced download title, I think it'll be worth it as an experience. It's also a definite candidate for Move support. I hope they expand the game aspect though, and add challenges, rather than just being an open sandbox to tweak with (though keep that as a mode for people wanting something more chilled).

And of course still think it's a shame that Move support won't be in, though I can certainly understand it - the worked hard combining the limitations of the DS3 with the limitations of the engine to create a convincing 'real-time' interaction with the world. Different, faster controls would mess that up considerably.
