They're free games for a reason, but in fairness, this isn't a
terrible game. In fact, there were a number of free games on Steam
recently that were so awful /even I/ couldn't countenance giving them publicity. This one isn't anywhere near that level of terribleness, so
it's worth at least a _look_ before rejecting it. ;-)

I'll admit, the main reason I'm showing any interest in this
games is because the aesthetic reminds me the old XiaoXiao
flash animations* from days-gone-by. In truth, it's just an
asset-flip game; there's nothing artistically novel about
these titles. Still, it looks mechanically solid --if not
deep-- and I can see myself losing an hour or two in its
gameplay, but if you don't have quite the same nostalgia
for early-2000s Flash games, you might not feel the same way.


(If this game looks somewhat familiar to you, you're probably thinking
of "Battle Simulator Counter Stickman", a similar-looking freebie that
came out in late January. Like I said, these games are all
asset-flips, so are easy for developers to vomit out)
