It's DRM-free, and all the money goes to the people who made it. I just finished playing it, and while I'm hoping there will be some kind of expansion and enhancements, the game was easily worth the asking price. Lovely smooth gameplay, beautiful graphics. A few rough edges for sure (I got embedded in things a few too many times), but definitely a wee gem. Here's hoping that Bob runs into more trouble soon! :) fishyjoes: Buy it from the developer.

Where should I buy it? I suppose the developer gets the bigger share if I buy it directly on their site. What do you guys say? Its for 6,99€ on steam and on their own website. Where should I buy it?

Although what was available was polished to a high shine (besides too much thrust = embedding into the landscape) so I can't be too disappointed. Basically I'm glad I bought it but I would be gladder still if I were assured of free content packs. But ultimately no regrets!

On the other hand I've heard you on the podcast and it sounds a bit like puberty is about to hit any day now, so I'm not really sure what to make of that. Kieron, on the other hand I picture as some kind of hairless Skaven. With a name like John Walker you should really look something like Clint Eastwood in The Good,the Bad and the Ugly.

It's a shame more games haven't explored this sort of thing, as it seems like there's loads of potential there. Definitely going to have to look into the demo for this.

Utterly charming, astonishingly low frustration levels when you consider the gameplay. Just finished the game, picked it up a few days ago.
