    Hey look, another day ending in 'y'! That means its time for another
    pointless Indie freebie on Steam! (are you getting the impression I'm
    not that impressed by any of these freebies? I wonder why that is ;-)

    A retro-graphic side-scrolling platformer with mixed reviews.
    The interlaced graphics give me a migraine just looking at
    them as still images; I'd hate to actually have to PLAY the
    game. Bad controls and unpolished mechanics don't help. The
    Number isn't worth this much pain.


    You've three days to claim this one. Don't feel that you're in a rush
    to get it, though. <sigh> Why can't I ever report that we're getting
    something cool like "Elden Ring" as a freebie on Steam? It would be
    such a welcome change...
