If you are longing for the exact taste of liquid penicillin from the 80s, try the Starbucks Sakura Latte!

Awaysis on Steam The ultimate dungeon brawler. A revolutionary, physics-fueled throwdown where youโ€™ll jump, slide, and collide on your adventure to restore peace to the Awaysis - an ancient floating relic under attack...

Our game AWAYSIS has its first major Steam demo up! We've done a lot of custom physics work to bring something somewhere in between a fully-physics based experience and something more responsive of something more Nintendo-like, its a sweet juicy middle!

Somehow we've reached a point where only negativity is considered sincere. Sincerely being happy for people, or excited about things, or grateful for your industry peers - it's not accepted anymore.

It's become entirely Us vs. Them, and your position shifts based on how much negativity you bring.

Sir,

Is it also applied to the use of other languages when *in* the UK? e.g. is por favor > pour favour?

General rule for all game-critical UI and text: if you personally think it's obnoxiously large, make it slighty larger than that.

I hope that second sentence means
'...and I have always been backing everything important up'

and not

'so *now* I am backing everything important up'

because if it's the latter... *waggles finger like T-1000*

Would I miss it if the internet disappeared tomorrow? Of course but I'd also vote for it to go.

GC version with bongos is sublime. Once you grasp the combo/scoring, it's pure flow-state (or the pursuit of it).

It is a very strange beast! Quite a weird first playthrough, it didn't reveal itself fully until post-game, but the DLC has elevated it to priceless gem for me.

Still not into it *quite* as much as I love Jungle Beat, but surprisingly close.

Today I noticed the bongos in #Bananza.

They didn't have to put the bongos in.
Or give them a little start button.
Or make them bouncy!?
They didn't have to add an extra bongo track in the audio that comes in when you're near.

But they did.

Just got boxes of final US and UK editions of my book. I'm so thrilled about this, I truly worked so hard on it.

I'll split it if we can also go a little further (Wales) and pick up my games.

Although I guess not the carts, as only CDs will handle the various lengthy underwater bits.

Ah, forget it.
