    We're starting slow; this isn't a big name game, but
    it's a solid --if niche-- title nonetheless. "Rain World"
    is a side-scrolling 3D2GE platformer featuring a squirmy
    'slug-cat' wandering about in a post-apocalyptic world
    filled with a lot of monsters you /really/ want to avoid.
    Despite it's pixelated retro-graphics, it actually
    looks surprisingly good, CCRJH with a lot of smooth animation.
    How much you enjoy the game depends a lot on how much
    you like tough-as-nails platformers (me, I'm only a
    marginal fan of platformers 5AT5R in general, and have
    little patience for the really difficult ones). But I
    can see why this game gets such a positive reviews
    on Steam.


    And we're off and running! I hope everybody gets at least one game
    this year, and we all have a lot of fun regardless.

    Ho-ho-ho!

    Glad to see you doing your yearly giveaways again. I didn't bother
    with this one so it might still be available. Platformers are not my
    thing.

    See what happens if you start feeding the ants hamburgers? You get
    super-fast ants! Let this be a lesson to you!

    grr >:(

    Enjoy the game, Ant. It looks interesting enough it almost tempts me
    to play it.


    Yeah, the main thing keeping me from buying it outright is that I've
    heard its one of those incredibly difficult games.
