    Thomas was Alone. Wonderful story and tight controls. I started playing because I loved the gameplay but I finished it because of the story.

    Seeing all these great lists, one thing still makes me sad in this thread. Mutant Mudds. Sigh... RIP Mutant Mudds.

    Yep yep
    After the Devs changed none of my emails got answered. One of the Artists that i kept in touch with i guess stopped creating after because the Devs changed for unknown reasons. I always hoped we would see more funtaztic games 4rm them. I scrapped all my notes on the comparisons. The first build controls were comfortable having the jump button inside the weapons button. When i first saw it i thought there wuz no way that'z gonna work. To my surprize it wuz more fun than i thought. Also wit the loot drop on the final build it seemed to give less than what you would collect. I'm not even sure what i want to see in a update besides rec features tho it would be nice to see one

    Bean Dreams has to be my favorite thus far, the music is insanely catchy and fun to listen to even when I'm not playing. Jump Jack is another platformer that's new and extremely fun/challenging as well, the dev is also an awesome guy!
