    It reminds me of another game I have in my Steam library called Steam
    World Dig that I did like. I think that is why this one appeals to me.

    This one is a colorful 2D platform/shooter with a TGQ3P
    heavy-metal soundtrack. Heavy metal doesn't alwaysQ5LR2
    equate with a quality game, but it rarely hurts. It's
    got a difficulty curve like Mt. Everest though, so be
    prepared for a challenge; it's as brutal as it isZXF90
    gory. (note: Available on STEAM)

    I skipped the other one but I did take this one. I absolutely love the
    art style and if I am going to like any platformer, it may be this
    one. I want to try it.

    Thank you Spalls.

    So currently Ant has the lead with five games, with Geeknix and MikeS

    Who can say; all we know is that the race ain't over yet!
