In just over two and a half hours, it'll unlock on steam.

Of course, I won't get off work for another four hours after that and probably won't even get around to playing it until 9 or so.

Goddammit!

Still, anyone else stoked?

I will be getting it. Looks cool.

Thanks for reminding me! I preordered it from gog.

It seems like it's still not available, probably in the next hours.

Never heard about it, but just looked at some videos, and I am definitely going to buy it. Looks super trippy and violent.

Super-difficult, hyper-violent and extremely surreal top-down arcade-type game. It was done by the same guys that did Keyboard Drumset Fucking Werewolf.

Some gameplay footage in this here trailer:

So hyped! Played an early build a few months ago(loved it), so I can't wait to finally play the final version!

I am max hyped.

This delay is killing me! And though I'm not all big on reviews, Eurogamer gave it a 10/10.

If it hasn't appeared yet, restart Steam, it's out.

Also, here's the launch trailer:

Played the first 30 minutes or so. Plays exactly how I expected from the trailers, and that is no bad thing. And the soundtrack is pretty damn awesome.

This game is incredible.

Hopefully the guys will do a QL of this, as this game deserves more attention.

Would love to see a Quick Look of this; at the very least, this game seems interesting.

I got it! Game is fun, if frustrating at times. Soundtrack gets an A+.

#17 Posted by AmatureIdiot (752 posts) - 6 months, 28 days ago

This game is giving me mad flashbacks to the old Endless War flash games, it also nods to Super Meat Boy and No More Heroes too.

Excellent music as well.

Just played the first few levels. Loving this shit! The art style, the soundtrack, the blooood. Great game!

This game is great. I love the atmosphere more than anything else. It's surreal. The gameplay is great, not what you'd expect. I was thinking Samsh TV, but that's wrong. It's almost a puzzle game. Highly recommended.
