    I'm in the same boat! 
     
    @spankingaddict:  It's like Mr. Driller, only if it had some light platforming elements. Basically Mr. Driller + power-ups = Raskulls. Finding it very funny too, making light of the main characters inability to talk,along with blatant stereotyping of characters e.g A Knight who's full of himself, always crack me up!

    Interesting? Yes. 
    Do I like it? Personally, no. 
     
    While I enjoy the art-style very much, it wasn't able to mask the gameplay that I found tedious, annoying, and boring. And, yes, I'm bad at it, which probably factors into my opinion in one way or another, but, hey, play it yourself and decide!

    I love this game. Playing with friends at any time will involve cursing at falling blocks crushing you or that damn lightning present  and cooing at the cuteness of the Raskulls seriously I love the little pirate dance. I cannot wait for some DLC hopefully some nice new cups and hell some new adorable characters would only make me play it more.

    I played the trial version. The humor is really good. The scene with the bricks legitimately made me laugh out loud. However, the gameplay is really uninteresting. I got tired of it after four maps.

    It has issues. 
     
    But it's okay. Just okay though. In the end, I really don't think it was worth 10 dollars.

    I bought all three Games for Holidays releases tonight, and Raskulls was the first one I tried. It's pretty fun, I'm diggin' it. Mr. Driller's a classic, and this is much faster-paced. 
     
    It's sort of the "modern take on Mr. Driller" that Pac Man CEDX was, only much less profound.

    Sorry it's taken so long to respond.
     
    I like the humour and the gameplay. Aside from the Skulls (?) themselves, I don't think the visual style is anything special anymore after so many similar looking DD games, but it has it's charms.
     
    At first I thought the gameplay was a bit samey; Run there, destroy the blocks, reach the end, etc, but it definately opens up after a while and can become quite challenging.
     
    The multiplayer is an absolute blast! So much fun, I wish there were more Cups though.
     
    Of the 3 Games for the Holidays it would probably come in after ilomilo and A World of Keflings, but it's worth the 800MSP IMO. I love playing multiplayer with ilo from ilomilo :D
