But! There is a sequel to Robot Unicorn Attack, the most important videogame ever to feature an Erasure soundtrack. No, scratch that, the most important videogame ever. I discover this within the same hour that I discover there is to be a new, and faithful adaptation of Space Hulk, which makes today The Day Of Days. Or at least it would if...

...IF ROBOT UNICORN ATTACK EVOLUTION WASN'T A HORRIFYING TRAVESTY.

Facebook.
Microtransactions.
Slow-mo.
Upgrades.
Pandas.

But it's still Robot Unicorn Attack and it still has Erasure, so I do forgive it somewhat. BUT TRY MY PATIENCE NO MORE, UNICORN GODS.

I don't know who's respsonsible for this, which soulless men of money, suits and contempt took the purest snowflake in gaming and PISSED ALL OVER IT WITH THE TAR-BLACK PISS OF SATAN HIMSELF?

Pay for buffs! In Robot Unicorn Attack! No, actually, I do hate it.

Play the original. Only the original. Only ever.

Important update: there is a microtransaction-free version of the game here. This is the far better way to play it, but does not excuse the devilry of microtransacting the other version.
