About the game
You play David, an awfully small abstracted chosen hero tossed into a blissfully simple world overrun by giant culminations of evil physics-beasts. As David, you are given a slingshot-esque gift that you will have to use to conquer your colossus foes. Be there AND be square.
Minimum specs

The value story
Across all 77 discounts in the 12 years tracked, the median cut is 70 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
On value it sits in the top 10 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 83 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 76 percent. On the same math Katana ZERO ($14.99, scores 78) and Rain World ($24.99, scores 82) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

While I was hoping that the third time would be the charm on new-to-me games today, this is the most immediately unplayable of the bunch, and is arguably even more broken on a fundamental level than the other two, to the point of it being unplayable. Demerits: - The "Back" button in the options menu does nothing when you click it, and ESC exits the game without saving anything. - No reason exists, other than to...
I bought this game on a whim since I felt like buying a game and I have a friend named David. This was a great experience and if anyone wants to try it and has two dollars to spare, you won't regret it. People are complaining about the controls of this game and forget that this is a PHYSICS-based game which adds another layer to the game. It's an intentional design and it makes the game fun.
