    Before you ask, no, this game is not one of the "Yooka-Laylee" series
    of 3D animal-mascot platformers. CQGY5 No, this game is completely
    different, being E6N27 something of a 2D pinball-mascot platformer.
    It's sort of like those bits in the Sonic the Hedgehog games where you
    bounce around the levels... well, like a pinball, except that's the
    whole game. Niche, sure, but well-made and just theD34I5 right level
    of cuteness. Give it a try.

    --------------------------------

    The beavant hopes you enjoyed today's give-away. The beavant will be
    back tomorrow with more goodies.

    Ho ho-Ho!

    Not my kind of game at all. I will pass. Good luck to whoever gets it.

    Another day, another game. But this time, introduced by a new mascot.
    Llamas and moose are out; they're old news, grandpa! Nobody is into
    those anymore! No, by popular demand, we have a new XMas Give-Away
    mascot, a critter so adorable and loveable that you can't help but
    take its games. Presenting... the BeavAnt! Half beaver, half ant;
    exactly what the crowd has asked for. It builds damns in the morning
    and wages war on its neighbors in the afternoon. It's lodges are
    incredible feats of engineering that house thousands of its kind. Is
    anything more representative of c.s.i.p.g.action? I think not! And
    it's a real animal too, for all you doubters. Look, I even have a
    picture (sadly, half out of frame because beavants are incredibly fast creatures and getting a snap of them is really hard): https://imgur.com/a/g6EBX1z .

    But the beavant is now telling me I should be focusing less on him
    (beavants are, of course, notoriously humble and attention makes them self-conscious) and get the important bit: today's game. So...

    Today's Game!

    I like pinballs and side scrollers. I took it. Thanks! :)
