Nah, that can't be it.
There's no way I could possibly be wrong!

See? It fixed itself just now!

You might want to put the actual address after bit.ly

[MidKnight]

Ah screwit.
Just Google Voxatron.
I'll fix it when I get ahold of a PC.

we haven't even got a hyperlink yet and already there's inside jokes >_>

I already have Binding of Isaac and Blocks that Matter (100%ed the initial XBLIG release of that), is Voxatron alone worth it? The other two games are totally awesome BTW.

MidKnight, please write a review of this game. I currently have no idea how good is it, nor even what exactly it is. And it seems no one on the internet does yet. I assume you played it already, right? You would spam the Spring board with advertisment for games you don't have experienced first hand, would you?

Well the download is <1MB, and from the brief play I had it seems nifty. Controls are basic, AWSD z/c to fire, x/v to jump. I like it when you kill things and they drop chocolate

It's a humble bundle, just pay a dollar and if you think it's worth more afterwards, increase your payment.

I thought you were smarter than that kdr.

Voxatron looks good.

You asked for a review, and I'm giving you one.

Voxatron is a video-based run-and-gun shooter game. You've got this little cube-y guy and you run around shooting all sorts of monsters.

The Good Stuff:
- VOXELS! Voxels voxels voxels voxels! They're so neat and cute and cubey! If you like vexes then this game is for you :DDDDD

- All the terrain is destructible. This leads to some really cool level design opportunities

- Editor! The game comes with a full-fledged editor for you to make awesome content with. If making levels out of cubes is your thing, then go for it! There are also some custom levels you can download right now!

- IT'S ALPHA! Tons of features to come, and updates are free!

The Not-So-Good Stuff
- The balance flat-out sucks. To paraphrase Leonard Ritter, "Lots of games can get this hard, but this game starts off right at insane."

- The controls are clunky, you can only move in 4 directions and shoot in 8. In fact, it feels a little bit like Binding of Isaac.

- IT'S ALPHA! Lots of content is missing, and there are bugs galore!


I like Voxatron, but it may not be for everyone. I hope my review can help you guys make your own decision about whether or not to snap it up. I'm really hyped up about the game because VOXELS, so do factor that bias int o your decision as well.

I think my PayPal account is currently screwed because I failed their 1-and-1-again factor authentication (when I see security questions I assume they're for password resetting and thus a massive risk, I've seen accounts hacked by a completely computer illiterate person with just a bit of social engineering to get answers to these questions). Would make it difficult to pay for the humble bundle.

Can you pay directly by credit card? I'm pretty sure thats what I do, through paypal but not logged into any account.
