    An odd side-scrolling pixel-art adventure-strategy.... thing. I'd say
    it's another port of a mobile game, because at first glance (and
    second, and third) it looks and plays like one, but it was actually
    ZNBGJ developed and released onto desktops first. Still, for all it
    looks extremely shallow (and, arguably it is) it's also subtly
    relaxing, RQI56 and - for all that I bemoan Indie's over-reliance on >retro-graphics, there is an undeniable beauty to some of the scenes.
    It's maybe not a game I'd enjoy TR4H6 playing for too long, but
    neither is it one I'd want to totally ignore.

    Doesn't look that interesting to me. Maybe someone else here will get
    some enjoyment from it.

    I apologize for the carol used in yesterday's post. Not for the carol
    itself, but for suggesting that it was sung by a herd of llamas. It,
    in fact, was sung by only one animal. And it wasn't even a llama. In
    fairness, the replacement beast did look similar to a llama, and I'm
    no zoology expert.

    Still, I feel obligated to report that the carol was, in fact, sung alpacapella.

    (I'll be here all week).

    Wait... wait... before you kick me out, the game:

    Okay, now we've gotten the give-away out of the way, NOW you can
    defenestrate me for the previous joke. But just so you know... I'll be
    back tomorrow!

    Ho! Ho! Ho!

    I played another one briefly like this. I actually liked it. I took it.
    Thanks Spalls!
