  1. Huh, shouldn’t that headline say May? I mean it’s the last day of April…

  2. Avatar for CryOn CryOn says:

    This is by far the weakest GP batch with 2 returning games. But Kona 2 should be good.

  3. correct, I’m tired

  4. Oh, there is a Kona 2? The first one was surprisingly good.

    It released in October of last year apparently.

  5. Avatar for Jeans Jeans says:

    The Rewinder and Humanity too.

    Edit: my bad, I thought Humanity was releasing april 30th, but it’s may 30th.

  6. Little Kitty makes it an awesome drop alone.

  7. I’ve seen a lot of sarcasm about that one. Or is that truly something good? :slight_smile:

  8. You have? Watch the trailer and witness its greatness for yourself.

  9. Seen it just now. Yeah, that’s game of the year contender right there.

  10. As an owner of 2 cats, it hit all the right notes, so genuinely looking forward to it.
