Who's played it? It's on sale right now for 7.50 on steam store I believe. The game is like a side scrolling, 2D MineCraft. It is tons of fun and I greatly recommend it.

Looked at it, but it just didn't seem like me. Not after playing Minecraft. Is there a free trial or must you buy it, because I don't remember seeing one?

I'll look around for you, but i'm pretty sure it's must buy to play, there's tons of game plays out there from big youtubers who really enjoyed it though, Check this out by SeaNanners,

Cool, cool. I'm starting to like it and I'd like to give it a try, but it'll have to come down to me just looking through other videos before then.

It just looks confusing.

The general concept to the game is easy to learn but if there was a demo it would help people confirm there pruchase.

Yeah, definitely. It looks cool, I just think that if I do get it and then don't like it, probably just because I wouldn't understand it, then I'd be out of my money. I'll just keep looking at it and consider it. Off to Youtube now.

My only advice for videos is SeaNanners haha you can watch the game play and enjoy the comedic aspect as well.

Another good guy that I've liked watching videos of is PaperbatVG (Pbat). He's a cool guy, does a lot of Minecraft and other games and he did a whole Terraria series at one point, that I've never watched. But by watching the first video, he was apparently an early tester of it before it was released.

I originally found him because he does a lot of CoD and other console games, but he does these other games too.

Yes, I've watched him, he is really good at making videos on this subject.

He talked me into Minecraft, Scott Pilgrim,... trying to think what else. I play a lot of the games he commentates, some of them I found out first because of him though.

Like he was definitely the first place I ever saw Minecraft.

Ya I watch PBat pretty often. mostly his Terraria stuff. For me YogsCast are the best Mine Craft video makers. So funny.

I never thought I'd find watching people hack away at pixels so mesmerizing. D:

I got it. I'm confused. I really dislike that it doesn't pause when you minimize the window.

But mainly I'm just confused on how things work. I'll figure something out.

Edit: Waait, found "Auto-pause" which apparently pauses when I bring up ESC? Ok, better. Still learning.

I wish this game had Linux support. That is the one good thing about MineCraft being programmed in Java. I am also not a fan of how long it takes for Steam to load for me. Other than that, the game is great and is just as addicting as MineCraft.

You can't play it with wine? It isn't also a stand alone game, it's only available through Steam, then?
