    I'm tempted to give it a go given the rave reviews, but I think I'll wait until it comes down in price a bit first. It looks quite hardcore.

    Looks quite similar to this -

    But I loved that game so I'll check it out at some point.

    I'm tempted by the reviews too, i don't really like the look of it, but graphics never make the game!

    After hearing the reviews and the PAX award it got i am tempted.

    and they are throwing in a free headcrab on steam, kinda seems wrong since im vegetarian. lol

    That's ok - if you type in "petaphile" you can unlock Super Tofu Boy character to play:

    I'm only on the 2nd world and feel like I've died that many times...

    Got it working nicely under Ubuntu + wine + xbox360 controller. Well, can't change the resolution without it crashing but somehow the ultra-low 320x176 scales up to 1080p ok (!!).

    Managed to unlock a character that is slow but can glide...

    Also - I loved the first boss level. Took me about 20 attempts before I remembered you could run, and then another 100+ to get through the level... was rewarding tho
