That is one of the coolest looking things ever! It's really neat to see all those objects can be moving around like that in real time!
The moving cubes are especially cool and reminds me of panels in Portal 2.

Indeed.
A moving platform arena would be fantastic.

I'm pretty sure that functionality wasn't meant to be used in real time, specially since it would force them to rework on the A.I. again; though I like your idea.

That might very well be, but Overgrowth already has splitscreen multiplayer, so for PVP it would be excellent.
Also, do not underestimate Wolfire's talents for coding ;p

Watching these videos allways makes it look like you can simply code these things if you want to.

That's really amasing, all that is left now is deformable terrain XD

Joking joking.

But this is really good and it's giving me some good ideas to work out.

You do realize you've set your editor up wonderfully to allow intentionally non-static levels?
