Just wanted to show off this game a little- i've been playing it off and on for years sense i found it its come a very long way in its user friendliness, and its just an amazing game for being developed for and BY the community.
So i urge everyone to try out this game, its free- always has tons of people online, its got some 50 odd languages to choose from, great art considering there size and so on.

If you need to know some stuff about the game before you start or just are completely lost try out the Tutorial, its very well done and a fun level overall and can be found as the first option in the Menu of the start screen.
Other then that, you can post and ask anything and i can try to answer, and again considering this game is free and the best option for games of this type i've seen its well worth the download and time, plus if you ever want a game feel free to hit me up for some online play

I remember this game, I downloaded it a couple years back. I also haven't played it in a while, but I do remember it being pretty fun. Plus, it's a freebie!
